The Gawker

Romney-Michigan What is becoming more clear now -- having dropped out of the race to protect the country in wartime -- is how much Mitt's campaign was like amateur hour.

How else do you explain this shot of Mitt and Ann last month in the Michigan state capitol rotunda under a portrait of Mitt's father, the late Governor.

Even if you are feeling awe, you don't stand there --across from the photographers, in the middle of your presidential campaign --looking wide-eyed with your mouth hanging open, especially when your Dad -- larger-than-life, and venerated above you -- is looking like he still owns the place.
