Josh Mandel's political career must have a special guide----Grover Norquist.
See picture (link).
Norquist said the following at CPAC and posted at the DailyBeast:
...They have reconciled
themselves to a Romney candidacy because they see Romney as essentially
a weak and passive president who will concede leadership to
congressional conservatives:
All
we have to do is replace Obama. ... We are not auditioning for
fearless leader. We don't need a president to tell us in what direction
to go. We know what direction to go. We want the Ryan budget. ... We
just need a president to sign this stuff. We don't need someone to think
it up or design it. The leadership now for the modern conservative
movement for the next 20 years will be coming out of the House and the
Senate.....
Pick
a Republican with enough working digits to handle a pen to become
president of the United States. This is a change for Republicans: the
House and Senate doing the work with the president signing bills. His
job is to be captain of the team, to sign the legislation that has
already been prepared....
Looks like Norquist thinks that Romney would make a good puppet.
