Mitt Romney, who, as the son of a former Michigan governor grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, much like Dahl’s Veruca Salt. Romney is definitely the most blue-blooded and aristocratic of all candidates, and has shown a penchant for flip-flopping as the political wind changes, just as the greedy Veruca constantly changed her mind about what she wanted.

He reacted calmly to the June terror attacks in London and Glasgow, and to the August outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease, followed a month later by the bluetongue virus afflicting livestock. He cheered many in his own party by signaling a new distance from the Bush Administration, while reaffirming his Atlanticist credentials.
