He wasn't a good governor, but business experience would help any leader in government.
It helps you understand the importance of business and the needs of business, including less regulation.
Being in business develops management, leadership and financial skills (including controlling costs) that can never be developed in the public sector.
This is basic free market knowledge that all Republicans should know. It's alarming that Newt and his supporters are fighting it.

So what you're saying is that Mitt's business experience ain't all that, after all. Thank you. Mitt's biggest selling point is supposedly his business experience, and well, there's no "there" there.
I'm not quite sure how having absolute control over a big business where you try to maximize revenues and boss all the little people under you around prepares you to lead government, unless your government is socialist. No wonder raised taxes and fees (maximize revenue) and instituted socialist health care (control the little people).
He was less than a poor Governor,He was an epic disaster for the state and the MA Republican Party.
He also has a very risky back story in his ‘Capitalist’ career. Specifically he never was or will be a capitalist. He is at best a Crony Capitalist but is specifically a Corporatist.
Romney will never be president. If Gingrich destroys himself while taking Romney down and out as the Nominee, he should be rewarded with a medal.
If We don't get Mitt Obama and his billion $’s certainly will.
Sorry, just the facts.
