Jonathan Bernstein: No one vetted Mitt
How did the Republican Party miss so many of Mitt's problems? You can thank his weak primary opponents.
I can’t tell you that Mitt Romney’s stumbles in London, as embarrassing as they are, will cost him even a single vote in November. But this latest campaign glitch is a good reminder that something really unusual did happen in the nomination process this cycle, and it leaves Romney as an unusually untested, and undervetted, nominee.
And it’s not just his London fiasco. It’s also new information that Barack Obama’s campaign has dug up about Romney’s business career. And that Romney hasn’t released more than (most of) one year of tax returns, unlike most recent candidates. And other things, such as the news this week that Romney was at one point a registered lobbyist.
