Mitt Romney is the most qualified and best suited candidate in the Republican field to be the next president.
The case is an easy one to make. Romney"s success as a businessman is a quality no one else in the field, Democrat or Republican, can claim. That experience demonstrates a well-honed ability to manage people, delegate responsibility, problem solve, and prepare for the future. In short, his main life skills that would make him an exemplary public servant come from a life outside of politics, which is a quality I find desirable in any position of the public trust, and especially in a president.
What government experience he does have is battle tested. As a Republican governor of Massachusetts, he operated in one of the most politically hostile environments for anyone with an "R" after his name. Most importantly, he did so effectively, successfully balancing the state budget and doing so without a general increase in taxation. He promoted and achieved massive business relocation to his state, and improved Massachusetts" credit rating. From a Republican point of view, the only blight on his governorship is his failure to win political gains for his party. In Massachusetts, that sin is forgivable.
Romney"s reorganization of the Massachusetts state government streamlined both the providing of services and the implementation of policy. His attention to critical government functions never lapsed. When a fatal accident occurred in the construction of the boondoggle known as "the Big Dig", Romney pushed the legislature to hand him control of the previously independent Turnpike Authority, and promptly fired those in charge and replaced them with competent managers of his own.
He is also pro-life and opposes the creation of embryos for the sole purpose of stem cell harvesting. It appears now we are on the verge of producing stem cells in ways that no longer implicate the messy ethical considerations inherent in the process of creating life in order to destroy life, in order to preserve life. Though he previously held a different position, it appears to me his pro-life stance is genuine. Like Peggy Noonan recently said, your position can change once, but cannot change again. Mitt Romney is pro-life.
His plan for the economy is sound. Preserve the Bush tax cuts, reduce the lowest tax bracket from 10% to 7.5%, and lower corporate taxes from 35% to 20% by 2010 (the corporate tax rate is a pass-through tax, and is really a tax on every consumer in the economy - people pay taxes, not corporations). As well, Romney proposes to reduce the capital gains tax to zero for those making less than $200,000.00 per year.
Mitt Romney has the experience, the vision, the demeanor, and the poise to successfully lead this country. That is why he is my choice to be the next chief executive of the United States.

Has Romney approved your message here? He may be YOUR choice, but I assure you he won't be the next president of the US. I wouldn't be surprised he wakes up and smells the coffee in the next couple of weeks and realizes that he has wasted enough of his fortune on this and pulls out of the race altogether.
He could take a whiff of his feet then. That ought to wake him up especially if he continues to waste all his money and doesn't have enough left to buy foot odor products!
Its a lot better than where McCain stands. Romney has a B on his report card while McCain has a C+. Which would you rather have?
Does the better grade have anything to do with Romney sending in his NRA membership dues? I have a hunch his grade would have been a D or F if he hadn't.
Well, he was Governor of Mass and they have almost as many gun laws as California. So if I was you, I would buy a bunch of stripped lowers asap.
