We learn from our mistakes, no?

Romney’s Political Fortunes Tied to Riches He Gained in Business

Mitt Romney owes his nearly $350 million fortune and his political career to a delicate negotiation with his boss in the summer of 1983.

Okay. So Romney can do what he's doing because he made bank back in the day. Nothing wrong with that, right? He used his skills of persuasion and logic to succeed in the business world--granted, he did make a couple of mistakes, as are pointed out in the article. But the article focuses in on two incidents--that's two incidents out of about fifteen years. If those are the only two screw ups that can really be picked at, I say Romney did a pretty dang good job. He's human, and people make mistakes. I think too often we forget that politicians were normal people before they became what we view them as today. Though...that's not to say that politicians aren't normal people. Actually, I guess they really aren't. But that's an entirely different story...
