It's pretty late in the race to be choosing horses, and this particular stallion has some issues from a previous run.
Romney showed us there's nothing he wouldn't lie about. So the question is whether it hurt Branstad to back the better of the evils, when in fact the lesser man is evil.
Let me take you back to august of 2007 when the former governor of Massachusetts appeared on a radio show while stumping in Des Moines during his ask-me-anything tour.
Several minutes into a filler segment, the talk show host abruptly shifted gears, noting that Romney was walking into the studio. "Good morning, sir, welcome aboard," Jan Mickelson said. But the niceties didn't last.
After a significant kerfuffle on and off the air, Mickelson said, "I hope we can do this when we can spend some quality time on the air." "No, I get a little tired of coming on a show like yours and having it be all about Mormon," Mr. Romney fired back.
If it's not bad enough that Romney was argumentative, defensive and combative, he told Katie Couric that the host had a hidden camera on the console.
More than this being about a potential US President's dishonesty, I'm disheartened that the governor of my state would back him in that role.
