Steve Benan discusses Romney's victory speech in New Hampshire last night, and raises an interesting question.

And how, exactly, does Romney intend to save the American soul? As it turns out, he never quite got around to that. And that’s part of the problem I have with his candidacy.
It occurred to me, watching the guy deliver a series of cheap attacks that I doubt even he believes, that Romney has been running for president for more than five years straight, and I still have no idea why he wants the job or what he intends to do with these awesome responsibilities._
I mean, sure, it's an effective way to cut your own taxes, but that seems a bit like overkill. #ddtb
