Is it possible that Romney could be a viable choice?

Following up on yesterday's post, one could wonder whether being an awkward campaigner, socially inept, and managing his message in a way to attract the votes he needs is necessarily a sign that Mitt Romney is not a viable candidate. If he can survive this ordeal, would he in fact be a relatively decent manager in the White House. I don't know, but don't want to completely write him off as implied yesterday.

Wait until the Southern primary states come up in March. The conspicuous serial philanderer, newly Catholic God anointed, and loose cannon Gingrich will most certainly get the Mormon issue going. If Romney can somehow successfully survive that, even attracting some eventual sympathy, he might be the nominee. If he hypothetically has any shot at the Presidency, it is possible that like Clinton he would appoint a professional staff and cabinet.

Again, who knows, but this is meant to take the edge off of yesterday's post.
