Romney, Inc.: Here Comes the I.P.O.

Philip Rucker of The Washington Post reports that Mitt Romney's campaign is making deals:

... Senior aides and surrogates -- hoping to seize a moment when even some unfriendly Republicans are beginning to see Romney as inevitable -- have spent the past several weeks making calls and visits to conservative leaders and activists who have resisted Romney's candidacy.

Campaign manager Matt Rhoades has been wooing tea party organizers in general-election swing states and, in some cases, offering private meetings with Romney. Advisers with roots in the conservative movement, such as Bay Buchanan and Mark DeMoss, have been reaching out to evangelical leaders who are backing other candidates. Elected officials, led by Sen. Roy Blunt (Mo.), have been courting lawmakers and Beltway power-players who are not on board.

What could they possibly be discussing if not quid pro quos? That's certainly what I'm picking up from this:

We know Romney has no core. We know Romney is desperate to have a united party behind him. And we know that most Republicans and the network of Republican interest groups are crazy.

So I think it's safe to say that he's going to promise to do what a lot of crazy people want if he becomes president.

1. Romney signs his name is dust.

Mitt walks away from any deal he can get away with.

Funny you should say he has no core. I just posted a article about him being hated to the core.

2. Why would anyone trust him on any deal? Listening to him is a waste of time.

3. Power hungry people are dangerous

and we all know that's exactly what Romney is....
