If you are a political junkie, like me, you have probably chosen your ideal place to receive your fix but all of them are missing a vital lesson being provided by these early poll numbers.
Many are aware of the inability of Mitt Romney to garner more than 25% of the vote from the Republican base and their reason is that the base does not like Mitt Romney. I suggest that there is another more obvious reason which is not being reported by these same experts, pundits and commentators. The lesson is America is seeking someone with a spine that is willing to show a tiny particle of respect to all that they are running to represent. This is not the case for Mitt Romney. He is avoiding all those areas where he may not be welcomed with open arms but these are the same areas which will be looking to him for leadership if he intends to occupy the White House.
Regardless of what you think of Barack Obama, there was no part of America he would avoid and many times was found standing right smack in the middle of the lion’s mouth. He sat down with them listened to their concerns and even agreed with them when he finally understood what it was that they were really talking about. He stood strong on those things that he disagreed with them on but never disrespected them by refusing to even converse. Romney proved that when he took a plane ride in coach and his staff is doing this now by keeping him from confronting those who have a lot to say.
The warning is quite clear, this is the same group of people who will probably follow him into the White House and if they are advising him to avoid groups he does not like now, what do you think that they are going to do when it comes to a foreign diplomat or a counter-part from another country. If you are asking to be the leader of this nation, you have got to be the leader of this entire nation. How can you serve this country as a whole when you pick and choose those from whom you wish to listen?
