Mutt Romney, heir to Ronnie Boy Reagan's hair. |
One of Mitt Romney's claims to fame is that he successfully turned
around the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics in 2002.
A businessman he may be, but a politician he is not.
After falling to John McCain in New Hampshire last week - his second
loss in a contest he was expected to win - things are looking pretty
glum for the man who's been positioning himself as the Heir To Ronald
Reagan's Hair.
Mind you, Mitt did manage to win the hotly-contested Wyoming Caucus
last week, an achievement which is marred just slightly by the fact
that Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter were the only other candidates to
show up.

Still, don't count him out just yet - Mitt's hopeful of a big
comeback.
According to the Wall Street Journal:
http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2008/01/08/romneys-self-assessment-two-silvers-one-gold/
Mitt Rommey's New Hampshire concession speech borrowed from remarks he
delivered less than a week ago in Iowa.
He used the same Olympics medal analogy, saying he had "two silvers
and one gold" - the gold being the little-watched caucus he won over
the weekend in Wyoming.
Good stuff - because if there's one thing the NASCAR-loving Republican
base likes, its an Olympics metaphor.
Personally I think Mitt should keep this up, so as a public service
I've compiled some other Winter Olympics references that he can feel
free to apply to his campaign.
"My campaign is like the biathlon, which requires plenty of endurance
and the ability to shoot straight."
"My campaign is like curling, which requires skill, finesse, and the
ability to stay on one's feet."
"My campaign is like the luge, which starts off pleasantly enough but
then goes downhill at 90 mph."
