After reading a stellar article on Ricky Williams in ESPN the mag about the man who never really wanted to be a professional football player, I started wondering about Mitt. Stay with me.
Most of us have "that number" - the amount of money we consider "F-you" money required to walk away from it all, live on an island, buy a farm in Australia (like Ricky) or write the next great American novel.
Mitt has "F-you" money. Mitt has enough "F-you" money to cover a small town. Mitt is not living on an island, nor plotting a Bain Capital take over of one. He's out stumping and running for the most demanding job in the country.
Why?
