Romney, in this description, makes me think of the (possibly apocryphal) John Bull Brit complaining that "those people" didn't understand him and thus shouted, on the theory that louder would be understood.

I'm still amazed that his candidacy is being taken at all seriously. He was, by many (admittedly partisan) reports, such a staggeringly bad governor of Massachusetts, and so universally reviled, that it seems inconceivable that no one has pointed this out to the populace.

Oh, wait, I forgot about the Washington press corpse.
