Reading of Romney's introduction to the Senate reminds me of DKG's chapters on LBJ in the Senate and lifts up a sticky question: How do persuade make old men with nothing else in their lives to make their jobs less important or relevant?

Romney's vote to convict the President during the impeachment trial may be the last act of Republican courage I will see in my lifetime.

Ok. I'm starting to get a sense of where we're going here, and I'm wondering if it's just Coppins, or if there is a larger mood of "let us breeze by the triumphs and zero in on the failings" in political biographies.
That said, Romney, whom I have always admired for his principles, not summoning the moral courage to face down outrageous demands from dumb voters is disappointing, if not surprising.
