Too Late
Emerging from the chaos of 1968, George Romney was an unlikely choice to lead the nation. Barely able to put together a cohesive coalition within his own party, the Michigan Governor has withered in the face of myriad crises. The war in Vietnam symbolizes Romney's challenges best, with a sluggish withdrawal and weak South Vietnamese army, President Romney faces criticism from both his left and his right. It's not much better domestically, where a resurgent right strongly opposes Romney's unorthodox programs for urban renewal and desegregation in the south, amidst a struggling economy. To win re-election, Romney must first heal the wounds in his own administration, then his own party, and then finally the country. Anything else would see the United States fall into an irreversible state of moral decay.
