Last presidential election, Mitt Romney had a bit of a rough trip to the U.K.
Have you noticed how many of the Republican hopefuls have made trips to the U.K. this go round? So far, Bobby Jindal, Chris Christie, and Scott Walker have all gone.
It has gone so poorly that this article suggests then Senator Obama basically set them up for failure by having a successful trip abroad while running for the presidency.
I have a different thought. I think major Republican financiers-- you know, the ones who aren't allowed to coordinate with the candidates or campaigns-- have requested that serious candidates undertake these trips to figure out who to back. Given how poorly these trips have gone, I don't see any other reason that would motivate other candidates to keep trying.
