Romney's like the kid ...

Who acted like a jerk, knew he acted like a jerk, knew everybody thought he was a jerk, and still insisted on coming around and acting like a jerk even though he knew nobody wanted him around acting like a jerk:

...

You’d expect to see the opposite at this point, as GOP voters get a better look at their presidential field. But as it turns out, the more Republicans learn about their choices, the more they’d like to support someone else.

And that’s just the rank and file. Among the prominent party voices, Ross Douthat called this “the weakest presidential field of any major party in a generation”; Bill Kristol has invested quite a bit of time urging late-entrants to get into the race; and Fred Barnes put it this way last week: “Would Romney be odds-on to win the nomination if Mitch Daniels or Chris Christie or Paul Ryan or Jeb Bush were in the race? Not likely.”

...

And this from all the other jerks who are his friends.
