Mitt Romney Wins Virginia, Massachusetts and Vermont

Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has won the primaries in Virginia, Vermont and Massachusetts. This will be enought o keep his momentum going in the Republican Presidential Primary despite a few setbacks this week.

Yet again Romney’s wealth came into the contest in a negative way this week. Romney’s wife Ann made a comment where she said,

“We can be poor in spirit, and I don’t even consider myself wealthy, which is an interesting thing.”

One of the biggest arguments against a Romney candidacy is that he is completely out of touch with mainstream American voters and that will hurt him considerably in a contest with President Obama.

Some other examples of Romney’s gaffes include:

He told a reporter after his win in Florida that his campaign wasn’t concerned about the very poor because after all, they have a safety net.

When talking about how much money he had made on speaking fees he told a crowd “not that much”. In this case not that much turned out to be almost half a million dollars.

When asked in Michigan what type of car his wife drives he responded by saying “She drives a couple of Cadillacs”.

When pressed to release his tax returns (which he only did under pressure) it turns out he has significant holdings in offshore accounts.

When speaking about insurance companies he said “I like being able to fire people who provide services to me.”

At a trip to the Daytona 500 race Romney talked about a few friends he has who are team owners.

When asked by a reporter last week if his wealth was hurting his campaign he simply responded by saying “Yes”.

Do you think that Mitt Romney is too out of touch and incompetent to be President?
