Who is Mitt Romney?

Peggy Noonan writes:

A major if largely unspoken Republican criticism of Mr. Romney is exactly like a major if largely unspoken Democratic criticism of President Obama: He'll meet with you, he's polite and appropriate, but he gives no sign afterward that he heard you, that he absorbed or pondered what you said.

That certainly sums up my impression of him from the primary campaign.  Romney is a steady competent manager.  He won the nomination because, unlike the other candidates, he avoided major gaffes and mistakes.  But, after two presidential primary campaigns, if he has an intellect, he still hasn't let it show.

Regardless, of course, he will still be vastly better as President than Obama.
