Back in the day, Adlai Stevenson ran for president twice on the Democrat ticket. And twice he was defeated.
While campaigning, a woman shouted out to him "Senator, you have the vote of every thinking person." He replied, "That's not enough, madam, I need a majority."
Stevenson was an attractive candidate, smart, funny, well-spoken, everything a Democrat voter could (or maybe should) want. He never did defeat his Republican opponent, Dwight D. Eisenhower.
I begin to wonder if Mitt Romney could be another Adlai Stevenson? An attractive candidate who just doesn't connect with the American people. I hope I'm wrong.
