Has Romney ever in his life not gotten what he wanted?

[Brigid]

I mean really, he just seems so bewildered by all this -- this -- campaigning! It's so demeaning, you know.

1. I had the same thought.

He seems perplexed that this isn't turning out to be a cake walk.

2. He lost to Ted Kennedy when he ran for the Senate.

5. That's true.

I don't know why I'd forgotten about that. He doesn't seem to have been humbled by it, though.

3. My guess is no.

He was born into privilege and he thinks getting what he wants is his birthright. Campaigning is just one of the unfortunate necessities of moving into the White House.

4. The republican nomination in 2008

8. Another one I didn't think of.

He's just so damned arrogant, I guess it's easy to forget.

6. Ann Richards' famous statement about *, also applies to Willard RMoney.

7. I sometimes wonder if Mitt had some deep scarring emotional trauma as a young child.

Something that led him to be obsessed with always being "in control", always having the ultimate power in whatever situation he ended up in in life.

When you see people who look as obsessively regimented and disciplined as Mitt does...that can sometimes be a sign of some weird early moments of abuse or suffering.

9. Laid. Ann cheated.
