He was also a very successful businessman, and he turned around a troubled Salt Lake Olympic games. I'm not sold on any candidate yet, but I was so impressed by Romney's handling of the Olympics that he is still high on my list.
I know he is rich, but with the strange mixing of Reagan with his current campaign, and the fact that I remembered his father’s presidential challenge from the left in 68 and have seen him bring up repeatedly his mom’s pro choice campaigning as a senate candidate in 1970.
I just assumed that presidential candidate Romney would have had some political involvement in conservative politics at some time during the fiery, turbulent victories of the right, in the last 30 years.
Even Guliani earned a huge amount of name recognition among conservatives with his wild roller coaster ride as mayor of New York, which explains why as a liberal he could still get a little respect among Republicans.
The more I learn about Mitt the more I wonder where he has been for 60 years, I remember the Reagan revolution, the Gingrich revolution, the rightward turn for New York city, the great successes in the pro life movement and second amendment rights etc., but now Mitt Romney wants to be the leader of all of us radical, hard chargers, and I don’t remember him showing up before this last 2 years.
