Here's the first couple of paragraphs:
If you were building a Republican presidential candidate from a kit, imagine what pieces you might use: an athletic build, ramrod posture, Reaganesque hair, a charismatic speaking style and a crisp dark suit. You'd add a beautiful wife and family, a wildly successful business career and just enough executive government experience. You'd pour in some old GOP bromides - spending cuts and lower taxes - plus some new positions for 2008: anti-immigrant rhetoric and a focus on faith.If John Kerry was a flip-flopper, how would the average conservative have to describe Willard Romney? This guy has gone 180 degrees on just about every position he has ever held. Someone should tell Willard that God does not like liars. I wonder how New Hampshire Republican voters will see him.
Add it all up and you get Mitt Romney, a disquieting figure who sure looks like the next president and most surely must be stopped.
Romney's main business experience is as a management consultant, a field in which smart, fast-moving specialists often advise corporations on how to reinvent themselves. His memoir is called Turnaround - the story of his successful rescue of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City - but the most stunning turnaround he has engineered is his own political career.
Oh yeah, Willard also thinks Jesus and Satan are brothers and that he saw his father march with Martin Luther King.

Willard huh, as Johnny Carson would say, "I did not know that."
