...Many Sides of Mitt Re Joe Klein's "A Tale of Two Romneys": It sounds as if Mitt Romney has us all confused as to who the real Mitt is [Jan. 14]. I only hope it's bad advice from incompetent advisers and not the man himself. As a Democrat-leaning independent, I was willing to overlook Romney's Republican ways because of what he accomplished in private business, with the Utah Olympics and as governor of Massachusetts. An awareness of his father's untarnished reputation while governor in my home state also didn't hurt. But his seesawing pegs...
Klein made Romney out to be more dishonest and empty at his core than his rivals. All the candidates try to be all things - or at least most things - to all audiences. While Klein made some excellent observations, he failed to back up his assertion that Romney's campaign is uniquely deceptive. With "A Tale of Two Romneys," we got the best and the worst of Klein.

But the haul was disappointing; donors still weren't ready to buy in to a candidate they view as too much of a risk. The towering obstacle between McCain and victory is not so much his rivals for the nomination but the suspicion long held by many Republicans...
...Lewis once described as "a love of actual risk" that is "freakish" in a politician. Before the Michigan primary, he told voters in the economically ravaged state that lost auto-industry jobs "aren't coming back," a dose of undiluted straight talk that probably cemented his loss there to Romney. And no sooner had he arrived in Florida than he declared himself opposed to a costly national catastrophic-insurance bill that is widely backed by Sunshine State voters and supported by Florida's popular Republican governor, Charlie Crist, whose endorsement McCain covets...
