Romney Heads to Lynchburg

Romney Heads to Lynchburg by MSW.  My response: Romney will say whatever is strategic, no matter what he actually thinks.  That is basically the defintion of a pathological liar.  This is fatal in the age of YouTube.  Sadly, the media will cover him, even though Libertarian Gary Johnson, unlike Romney, served two terms as a GOP governor in a Democratic state, where Romeny did not even try to hold his seat.  Like Gore in 2000, Romney won't even win his home state.  The question is not whether he will lose, but how badly and whether he does so with dignity in tact. The other question is whether Ron Paul's strategy of having his supporters serve as Romney delegates extends beyond caucus states to primary states.  It may be that the final rules of the Tampa GOP convention eliminate committed voting on even the first ballot.  It says something about the quality of Romney's staff that this is a possibility (it should not be) and that they can't control whether their candidate tells obvious lies about his position.  People stay home when their candidate is a liar, even in Virginia.
