Dictionary unabridged: Not-Mitt (n.)

Not-Mitt (n): From the 2011 dictionary (abridged) by Jeff Jacoby
Not-Mitt (n.): On paper he has it all: brains, family, and wealth; a stellar business career; gubernatorial experience; a history of success.
He’s pragmatic and steady, handsome and well-spoken. Among the 2012 Republican presidential hopefuls, no one appears to be more of a natural-born executive than the organized, thoughtful, and focused Mitt Romney.
And yet Republicans are leaving 2011 the way they entered it: looking for Not-Mitt.
Nearly everyone in the field has taken a turn atop the polls, as the GOP has lurched from one candidate not named Romney to the next.
It isn’t that Republicans are fickle. They avidly seek a standard-bearer who can beat Barack Obama, but they also want a leader who can convey the urgency of the present hour — and why that urgency demands a Republican.
Romney is sure he wants to be president, and he certainly fits Central Casting’s idea of what a president should be. But his party hungers for more, and the search for Not-Mitt goes on.
