Politico agrees with my blog post a few weeks ago.”The untold story of Mitt Romney. And why it could lose the election for him.”

Take it away,Politico’s Maggie Haberman,

“The presumptive GOP nominee is known for his abilities as a salesman. But Romney has made a calculation against selling three major elements of his background to voters. To some degree, the Republican’s campaign has walled off three critical aspects of what makes Mitt Mitt — his Mormon faith and good deeds, details of his experience running Bain Capital and his signature achievement as Massachusetts governor.

The result: a kind of self-imposed paralysis on biographical messaging that some observers, including Republicans, say may wound his campaign in an era in which voters want to achieve a kind of unprecedented intimacy with their candidates. Right at the moment voters are starting to get to know him, he isn’t telling them his story.

It’s a risky strategy for a candidate in an era of more is more.”

If I was in a room with a guy that had a lot of those pony in his room I’d be almost be afraid he was going to take my blood to try to give his ponies life.
