Why the former Massachusetts governor should run health care reform.
As I see it, there are three principal requirements for the job. The first is experience in management, business, and organization: maybe someone who's worked as a management consultant, an entrepreneur, and an executive in both the public and private sectors. The second is the ability and capacity to commit: someone who isn't likely to have any pressing obligations for the next several years, and who has enough cash that he or she doesn't need a large private-sector salary. Third is relevant experience in implementing a large-scale health-care reform program, ideally one that involved using an individual mandate and the private insurance system to attain near-universal health insurance.
In other words, this sounds like a job for Mitt Romney. He may be the only man in America who meets all three criteria.

Heh! Thanks for the ping.
Hilarious.....and TRUE.
You mean after Fred Thompson dropped out of the 2008 primary? Guilty as charged, along with plenty of other FReepers. Thompson was the only candidate I gave a damn about, and when he was gone, the choices were limited. What's even worse, after Romney was gone I supported the miserable John McCain.
If you were referring to my comments in this thread, I was describing why I believed Newsweek ran the opinion piece. That is a long way from supporting Romney. FWIW I think he would be a bad Republican candidate in 2012.
