Mitt Romney doesn't need enemies. The problem for Romney is that he really isn't one of them, and the American people know that he isn't one of us. Look beneath the raw preference data for the metrics-the questions about "cares about ordinary people" or "understands my problems". Romney gets creamed to a degree that can't be explained away by skewed polls . As David Brooks has pointed out repeatedly, the guy is a pragmatic manager type running in an ideological age. In the end, all he has is his ambition, which may win him the election but will never inspire walk-through-fire loyalty. So we will both listen to the chatter, not from the left, celebrating his demise prematurely, but from the right, for a true measure of which way the electoral wind is blowing.
