[Reaganesque]

Within the Mormon community, Mitt is very well know because of what he did in the Winter Olympics and the fact that he has been successful politically. Everything and anything that he has done since then has been big news in Utah. Also, he is related (I'm not sure just how...) to Marion G. Romney, a former General Authority within the church so, his family is quite well known as well.

Mormons are a very close knit bunch. For example, when I have moved into a new ward (congregation), it's like I already have friends and/or family there. Most Mormons feel that way about each other and this breeds a strong loyalty to our own. So, for many, Mitt's like family.

Personally speaking, I am loyal to Mitt because I am LDS and I grew up in MA. So, I have known him and his family for most of my life. I worked on his campaign in '94 as a volunteer and briefly as a staffer. He is someone I have looked up to for a very long time both personally and in my business conduct. He is one of the most intelligent, honest, decent and compassionate people I have ever known. I truly believe he would make an excellent President of the United States.

Thank you for your personal testimony, Reaganesque. Mitt is a sharp, intelligent, articulate gentleman with many outstanding qualities and impressive accomplishments and appears generally to be a person of good character, even if we don't always agree.

You are fortunate that you got to know him personally, and that this experience only strengthened your support for Romney's candidacy. : )
