Real News from the Blaze': Is Mitt Romney Don Draper? Is That a Bad Thing?

The part business, part pleasure read of the day Friday for those covering and working in politics was the POLITICO piece "The Draperizing of Mitt Romney."

For those of you who aren't addicted to the 4-time best drama Emmy-winning AMC show Mad Men, Don Draper is the successful, suave, philandering, booze-soaked, "woman want him, men want to be him," clever 1960s adman protagonist of the show. Aside from his infidelity and alcoholism, critics could portray Draper negatively as a man behind the times, self-centered, rich and apathetic to the troubles in the world around him; traits that the Obama campaign may be attempting to brand Mitt Romney with.

Romney's enemies think they may have a winning position in painting him as a "retro figure who, on policy and in his personal life, is living in the past" but allies like Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan see the presumptive Republican presidential nominee as "a lot of people I grew up with, a lot of people I know, who have that Midwest earnestness. He’s kind of a throwback to the ’50s."

On  "Real News" Friday, Amy Holmes suggested whether a President Draper would even be a bad thing. What do you think?
