VICTOR DAVIS HANSON LOOKS AT THE CANDIDATES

Our favorite intellectual conservative, historian Victor Davis Hanson, posts his opinions of the candidates. He surmises that Romney's gifts actually may serve to hinder him:

Romney—I met him for breakfast twice and found him a thoroughly nice guy with enormous talents. On paper, he may be the most impressive: sharpest mind, vigorous, well educated, pleasant. His supposed liability—Mormonism—faded while his apparent strengths (looks, money, suaveness) were seen as his weaknesses, cementing the image of a “slick” product.

I must admit, given today's cultural obsession with Hollywood, I gathered Romney's movie star good looks would give him the edge over McCain. And in contrast to McCain we know Romney stands on solid conservative ground.
