Lee Benson: The real Mitt turned up MIA in campaign

Mitt's "handlers" may have cost him the election. As a Mitt supporter, even I decried his "pat," repetitive speeches. . .no warmth, no "connection" to his listeners. If there's going to be a comeback in 2012, Mitt, you'd better watch a lot of Obama speeches and learn from his ability to connect to the people. Your policies are great and your ability superior, but your communication skills seem rehearsed. I'll bet you gave better "speeches" in church while serving as Bishop!
As a volunteer, I saw the other side of Mitt. When he visited our venue to thank us, he quickly strode down the hall without looking at any of us. He went directly to the fancy buffet that had been brought in especially for him, and met with only a few volunteers. (Anyone who was a volunteer, and saw the pig-slop presented as "food", knows how disgusting it was to see trays of beautiful food carried high to a "you can't go there" area.)
Did anyone else notice that Mitt always seems out of breath when he talks, with an odd cadence. An independent-voting couple I know said that they couldn't vote for him, just because they didn't want to hear him pant for four years.
We already have a CEO/MBA President. That's worked out well for us, hasn't it?
....Mitt lost me when he started attacking EVERYONE in both parties and called John McCain another liberal Democrat.
....I can NO longer support John McCain now that he is pandering to the Rush Limbaugh extreme right wing of the rePublican Party.
Pretty sad. Every major political office is bought and paid for. Things ain't gonna change.
