Yes, not only has Mitt been running non-stop for 5 years, but since we’re talking psychoanalysis there just might be some unresolved daddy issues that compel him to run. His father was a competent GOP prez candidate in 1968; he later became a punch line because of his unfortunate comments on Vietnam. (He said, “I was brainwashed” when trying to explain his earlier positions on Nam, which he had changed.)

I find his Dad interesting because of the likely chance his Dad and my grandfather probably met at one point. He was a NLRB man and George Romney as you know probably was an auto exec. The strangest story I’ve ever read about Mitt is reading that he actually protested in favor of the draft during Vietnam and then went to France and did his mission. That just strikes me as a good summary of the kind of guy I think Mitt is.
