Somehow Romney has pulled off something remarkable. He is less well-known than he was in the last election cycle:
Only 27 percent of Americans named Mitt Romney and only 28 percent named Rick Perry. That’s below the same measure taken four years ago in October 2007, when 45 percent could name Rudy Giuliani and 30 percent could name Romney. So, well into his second campaign for president, Romney is now less well-known than he was four years ago, when he ran the first time around. Not exactly encouraging.
I dunno. His entire candidacy rests on the promise of amnesia – both about his past and his party's. But it underscores the weakness of his candidacy – and limits of his political appeal.
