Focus Group Finds Mitt Romney Rich, Aloof

[DesertRat]

If Mitt Romney were a member of your family, who would he be? Your father? Your brother? Your crazy Uncle Larry who drank too much at Thanksgiving?

Well, to a dozen Republicans who participated in a focus group Thursday night in suburban Virginia, he’s none of the above.

At best, the group considered him a second cousin or a “fun neighbor.” At worst, he’s the dad who’s never home. Or, in the words of one Romney supporter, “He’s richer than the rest of us” and wouldn’t attend family functions. :rofl:

All night, Mr. Romney registered weak responses from 12 likely Republican primary voters. Reanne Dunn, a 43-year-old homemaker from Vienna, Va., who favors Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, called him wishy-washy and got the impression that he’s just trying not to lose. Even people inclined to support Mr. Romney didn’t seem excited about the prospect. Deborah Secrist, a 55-year-old administration assistant who said she would vote for the former Massachusetts governor if the primary were held today, called him “a buffer,” a “four-year holdover” and “a safe bet.”
