First David Corn and now…..Nancy Pelosi????

You trust her with delivering your needs?
You trust her with delivering your needs?

When David Corn, a far Left Progressive writing at  Mother Jones, said that Mitt Romney was (in so many words) a closet Progressive, it left me rather unenthused. After all, a Progressive wanting Mitt – this is what I as a “base” Conservatarian, wants to hear about a guy that I resignedly voted for in the last election (more an anti-vote against Obama versus a throat rendering roar of approval for Mitt).  Extremely nice guy, successful guy, but one who leans more towards Big Government than what I’m comfortable at all with (the epitome of the “Big Government but just slower than the Democrats” kind of Establishment Republican).  And now, Nancy Pelosi???

Pelosi: I hope Romney is the GOP nominee

Mitt Romney has attracted an unlikely supporter in his possible 2016 White House bid: Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).  Asked if Romney has any shot at defeating Hillary Clinton in 2016, Pelosi told The Hill, “No, no. I mean, he might be a nice person — no offense, no offense — [but] let’s save you time.”. A smiling Pelosi added, “Let me put it this way — I hope he’s their nominee.”

Now obviously this could be a Brer Rabbit / briar patch moment – after all, the Democrats beat him the last time (and frankly, I think he beat himself the first time in the Primary).  Do they think playing Mitt cheerleaders might help to turn off the R base against him to help her favorite, Hillary Clinton?  Are they eyeballing the two side by side and going “crap”?

But still, food for thought.  Then add this in and some of the chatter WILL be about this (putting himself into a self-imposed Catch 22 situation):

If he runs again in 2016, Romney is determined to re-brand himself as authentic, warts and all…

So he WASN’T being authentic the first two times, or just not the first time but was the second?  But why call himself authentic NOW if he wasn’t being authentic the second time?  Or was he putting up a façade both times?  I just can’t keep it straight.  You know why (from both the first AND second time)?  I am so confused, and who can blame me?
