There has been much angst throughout the land... why is Mitt so bad at this? Why isn't he campaigning in battleground states? Why is he spending so much time doing posh fundraisers in California and Texas when neither of those states are in play and he has so much unspent money already, plus all those SuperPACS? Why are his campaigning days so short, when he bothers to do them at all?
Because Mama Romney didn't tell her nanny to raise her boy to be a sucker! The President position is really hard work for very little pay. Sure, the perks afterwards are great, but Mitt could buy all those perks a hundred times over already.
But you know whats better than being president? Perpetually running for president. Traveling wherever the heck he wants on other people's dime. Endless dinners and parties with the upper crust, with people paying him to show up and ramble on about whatever he wants for $50,000 a plate. Tax free, like God and the Founding Fathers intended!
Mitt Romney is already approaching $200,000,000 cash on hand in his campaign fund. He could conceivably be at half a billion by the time this thing is over. That is the rest of his life nominally campaigning! All he has to do is make sure he doesn't somehow end up winning, a task he is performing with stellar results.
You think you are watching a bumbling nincompoop slowly self-destruct in the polls. You are really watching a Master Grifter at work!
