Romney is too delicate to run for the presidency. [View all]

That's what I'd be saying if I were a Democratic pundit, at least. Right-wingers despise weakness most of all, and the Romney campaign is handing critics an opportunity to define their candidate as delicate and easily hurt.

First he cries foul when people mention his religion. Then he says it's not fair to talk about his money and privilege. Then he doesn't want to talk about his time as a Governor. Now Republicans are saying it's not fair for his opponents to talk about the business he himself talks about all the time.

Did he think everyone would just spend a few months talking about how great his hair looks, then take a vote?
