Mitt loses

After John McCain won in New Hampshire, the Associated Press had this to say:

"It was a bitter blow for Romney, who spent millions of dollars of his own money in hopes of winning the kickoff Iowa caucuses and the first primary — and finished second in both. Even so, the businessman-turned politician said he would meet McCain next week in the Michigan primary, and he cast himself as just what the country needed to fix Washington. "I don't care who gets the credit, Republican or Democrat. I've got no scores to settle," he told supporters."

Sound familiar? Mitt was the guy to fix the mess on Beacon Hill. Now he wants to fix Washington? Absolute swill. But I suppose there is something good happening here. With Mitt spending millions of his own money, it is at least a form of redistribution of wealth, a concept entirely anathema to grasping, stingy old sinners.
