All candidates for president are network or local. Romney is a network anchorman—sleek, put together, the right hair, a look of dignity. He's like Brian Williams. Oh, brother.

I've always said good looking people with lots of money usually win. People say; "Are we really that shallow?"

Yes.

Here's an example:

Why Mitt Romney Is Like NBC's Brian Williams

Mitt Romney had his first good week. It was startling. He stepped out from the blur. The other candidates now call him "the front runner." By most standards he was the front runner months ago, but nobody talked about him. He didn't live in the Republican imagination. It was "Will Mitch run?" and "You like Pawlenty?" Only seven minutes into the conversation would you get, "How will Romney do?" He was so '08, that disastrous year.

But this past week he got three big boosts. He had a reasonable announcement speech followed by a lot of national interviews.

Then the Washington Post poll: Mr. Romney leads President Obama.

On top of that, the two most visible Republicans the past 10 days were Sarah Palin, on her magical mystery tour, and him. They got all the coverage, and for a moment it seemed like a two-person race. Meaning a lot of Republicans got to think, "Hmm, Palin or Romney—a trip to Crazytown or the man of sober mien." That did not hurt him.

The financial reporting period ends June 30. Mr. Romney's focused like a laser on getting the kind of numbers that will demoralize rivals and impress the media.

Money leads to money. At a Manhattan fund raiser this week, an organizer said they raised about $200,000, not bad for an hour at the end of a long day of fund raising. The roughly 70 attendees were mostly men in suits. There was no vibration of "I'd walk on burning coals for this guy." More an air of "This is a sound choice."

But southern Evangelicals won't vote for him. Nor will Democrats. Does that leave enough people to win an election?

Ann Coulter hates him. So does Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh and the Tea Party. But, you know the establishment GOP and their love of the next-in-line. It's Romney's turn.
