It must be said that former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) had a not-so-good week there toward the end, waffling on Iraq. “Jell-O,” said The Washington Post’s Dana Milbank (and “afraid of his shadow and nakedly calculating”). “GOP lawmakers flabbergasted,” said The Hill. “Does Jeb Bush even really want to be US president?” asked The Telegraph.
Possibly not. But coincidentally, 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney had a very good day on Friday, there in the ring bare-chested — his shirt ripped off him — going mano-a-mano, as Ernest Hemingway liked to say, against the great and good former undisputed world champion Evander Holyfield. And was there ever a better sport than Romney for accepting that challenge?
Holyfield and Romney’s Charity Vision fight may have suddenly jogged a collective shift away from a long, painful conservative brain freeze. Conservatives, said Utah Sen. Mike Lee (R), are experiencing Bush fatigue. But this is the question which will now be quietly, surreptitiously asked, and asked with increased anxiety: If we are finally tiring of Bushes and Clintons and the old irrelevant families, are we not still just getting used to Romney? Does America maybe just need Mitt Romney?

Why does one need Mitt to loose again? That being said good work for charity.
Not really.
No, America doesn’t need an experienced businessman. We need more of the current feel-good, teleprompter-reading, class warfare-provoking, economic justice types.
Mitt is a decent man and shouldn’t have allowed the lamestream media to paint him as some some of robber baron at Bain capital (when he actually created jobs! I guess they never heard of staples)
It goes to show you that a foreign born community organizer that never held a job in the private sector can snooker the voters.
