Read a book covering the 2012 campaign. "Double Down - Game Change 2012" Mark Halperin and John Heilemann.

A lot of it was about the Romney campaign. It seems that Romney had some handicaps as a political campaigner. He was a reluctant fundraiser, reluctant to prepare for debates and an indifferent speechmaker. He wavered back and forth about his candidacy, needed his wife to prop him up, didn't have or seem to want to control his staff.

He was hamstrung by the charge he would "flip-flop", and thought he had to stay with whatever he had said whenever he had said it.

He had ambition, but not much else. When things got tough he would head off to an expensive house he was radically remodeling on the California coast, and then return when his staff begged him.

I think he ran for president because he could, not because of any particular desire. He certainly wasn't driven in the manner of LBJ, JFK, RN, guys of that ilk.

But he sure looks like a president, doesn't he?
