You can be rich and win Ohio, but you can’t be rich and out of touch and win Ohio.
— An anonymous Republican governor, quoted by the right-leaning Politico, in an article explaining that while Romney might make a good office-holder, he’s a terrible campaigner.

Only being comfortable in an office, but not in running for it, is what stops almost all aspirants from going farther.
