April 6 (Bloomberg) -- If Barack Obama prevails thisNovember, it will be in large part because of what has come outof Mitt Romney’s mouth in the last year.
I’m not talking about gaffes, for which the presumptiveRepublican nominee has a Freudian propensity. It’s as if thegaffe that ended his beloved father’s 1968 presidential campaign(George Romney said he had been subject to “brainwashing” on atrip to South Vietnam) puts Mitt Romney into “Don’t think of anelephant” mode. He’s so conscious of not making a gaffe that hissubconscious insists on one every couple of weeks.
