Comments on: Promote That Failure! (II) http://larison.org/2008/02/02/promote-that-failure-ii/ n. the principle of good order "Observe the strange inversion of all order and sense! Dignity debased; how vilely is the function of a consul prostituted!" ~The Craftsman Sat, 13 Mar 2010 13:50:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Daniel Larison http://larison.org/2008/02/02/promote-that-failure-ii/#comment-8813 Mon, 04 Feb 2008 04:47:28 +0000 http://larison.org/2008/02/02/promote-that-failure-ii/#comment-8813 I certainly don't want a campaign job. What a depressing thought. I write about political topics because government and politicians have tremendous power over what happens in this country (and elsewhere in the world) and I am interested in understanding how the political system works (or rather is organised in such a way that it does not work for us, but rather for its clients and members). Also, we just had a fairly significant midterm election a little over a year ago, and we are in the midst of a presidential election, so my commentary and blogging are going to run towards the political side more than usual. In this particular case, I thought it was relevant to draw attention to this story, since it highlights Romney's ambition and his poor tenure at RGA, which may give us a hint of how he would manage the affairs of the executive branch in the unlikely event that he is elected. If you would like more of a "taste" of what I think about Romney, I recommend the permanent page called Romney the Dancing Fraud. That should give you a better idea of what I think about him. In short, no, I don't like him. I certainly don’t want a campaign job. What a depressing thought.

You talk about polls and electioneering so much I wonder if you're hoping for a job on a campaign somewhere. Also I read your blog semi-regularly and I can't really tell for sure that you dislike Romney. It hasn't been made explicit that I can tell, I can only taste it.
