Mr. Romney is a man of admirable personal character, but his political profile is, well, protean. He made the cardinal mistake of pandering to conservatives...A third campaign would resurrect all of [his] political baggage...The businessman also failed on his own self-professed terms as a superior manager. His convention was the worst since George H.W. Bushs in 1992...[and his] campaign team was notable for its mediocrities...[a]nd dont forget the management calamity of Mr. Romneys voter turnout operation... Mr. Romneys post-election diagnosis also doesnt inspire confidence that he has learned the right lessons...if he cant sell a larger message of growth and opportunity, he wont defeat Hillary Clintons gifts either...Republicans are likely to have a far better field in 2016 [than they did in 2012] so voters wont lack for plausible presidents. Its hard to see what advantages Mr. Romney brings that the many potential first-time candidates who have succeeded as governors do not.
