    I generally have not found that to be the case. if you have contacts and you can bring in big assets you certainly will make a crapload of money at a hedge fund and i suppose it's possible you could start one as well, but the big money people generally are smart enough to not hand a salesmen all their money. But romney was the operator of the fund which only intially raised $37 mil which i assure you doesn't indicate he was an elite asset gatherer. He also is generally credited to bain moving to LBOs. Btw everybody is a VP at financial firms. The real big shots have names like director or managing partner. :)

    I never said he was a dummy if one looks at my post I was just saying he does not come off as a brainy type. As far as his his actual positions on issues they speak for themselves.

    I am aware Droski that many firms give guys VP postions. It is how they keep valuable assets on board and justify the carry/salaries they give them. I am not trying to argue he is an idiot at all clearly there is only one Santy. I am saying he is not a genius nor does he have a grasp of the issues IMO. He is completely out of touch. We all have our different view points. I keep hearing people tell me Romney is the most electable and all I say is "so?"...technically Obama is the most electable. Should I be an Obama supporter? If you elect Romney you get rid of Obama but you have Romney as the Republican candidate again in 2016 and that thought is just scary. I have already decided what I am going to do. I understand others have more radical feelings towards Obama like he is some kind of terrorist. I do not like him but he is not evil. IMHO he is a better president then Obama simply because he is a better PR guy.

    Romney's initial position on almost every major issue has been frightening to me until he flops to match Gingrich of course.

    Romney is a pragmatist. and i'd much rather have a guy like that than a guy like obama with him in the unions pocket. Romney will tow the republican line and generally vote with the polls. clintonesque. and I disagree that he is out of touch. the more i learn about him the more impressed i am. he's clearly a dynamic guy. of course obama is as well, but romney is much greater the lesser of the two. as for 2016, who knows what will happen by then?
