Willard Mitt Romney: Republicans Only Hope


When it comes to the current crop of Republican candidates for president, none excite me more than former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney: co-founder of Bain Capital, savior of the 2002 Winter Olympics, etc. He is truly an amazing man and in this article I will thoroughly explain why I support Mitt Romney for POTUS.

Executive Experience: No one running for POTUS on any side of the aisle comes close to having the executive experience of Mitt. As a corporate executive in the private sector, he gained the finesse needed to run any kind of organization whether it is in the business sector or governmental sector. His term as Governor of Massachusetts demonstrates his immense leadership capabilities in an executive role phenomenally. He was able to further conservative interests in a state in which Democrats control the state Senate with a 34:5 advantage and the state House with a 140:19 advantage. Taking just ten minutes to look over his record as governor will show just what an amazing job he did considering the ultra-liberal legislature he had to deal with.

Campaign Theme: One of the things I like most about Romney is his theme of “Bringing Change to Washington.” I think change really is needed in Washington and that the majority of Americans would agree with me. No Republican can win in 2008 if they are perceived as being a continuation of the current president. This is the main reason that I think Fred Thompson is the worst person Republicans could nominate: he simply cannot win. Romney on the other hand, seems to acknowledge the fact that the Republican Party has been led astray under President Bush and that is what the American people want to hear. In a Congress rocked by scandal, few self-proclaimed supporters of family values can truly put their money where their mouth is. Even among Romney’s fellow members of the Big Four (Giuliani, McCain, and Thompson) there is a total of eight wives. Romney’s had one wife, Ann, for thirty-seven years. He truly is a family values man who can bring real change to Washington.

Electability: Few people realize how big a threat Hillary Clinton is when it comes to the general election. Most seem to think that America simply won’t elect her: she’s too polarizing. Forget it. Hillary can win. Republicans must release the notion that the Bush states of ’04 are safe. They aren’t. 2008 is going to be an extremely tough fight, but Mitt can win. Against Hillary Clinton, Fred Thompson and John McCain will definitely lose. Rudy Giuliani could make it close, but even he would have a very tough time beating Hillary. The notion that Mitt can’t win because he’s changed his positions or flip-flopped is false. In a Hillary vs. Romney match-up, flip-flopping will be a non-issue: they’ve both done it. One of Hillary’s greatest strength is her Health Care plan. Yes, that’s right: HillaryCare 2.0 is a strength for her campaign. In this age of globalization and world-wide competition, American jobs are moving overseas. Our economy is being surpassed by those of China, Japan, and other Asian countries. Times are rough for the average American. With our current Health Care policy, many Americans are left uninsured. With Hillary’s plan, they will get relief, and that’s what matters. Will the average American educate themselves and realize that they are paying for whatever relief they may get on their medical bills through higher taxes? Nope. The thing is, Romney has a solution. Under Romney’s plan, the average American can have similar relief without paying higher taxes. In essence, it’s actual relief. Romney’s strength on this issue eliminates one of Hillary’s best strengths, and could even make the Health Care crisis a Republican advantage. As a warm, likable man, I think Mitt Romney will mesh well with the American people: he can win.

In conclusion, I think Mitt is the best man the Republican’s could possibly nominate to run against Hillary Clinton for POTUS in 2008. He is an incredible man of great integrity and is strong on so many issues. I think not only is he the best man for the job, but also the most likely to win the nomination. However, the primaries don’t start until January and even just a day is a long time in politics. Only time will tell…
