Election 2008 Spotlight: Mitt Romney

Hey, guys. So, I come home after a long day at school and at work, and I look in my mailbox, finding a (late) edition of TIME Magazine-with a large portrait of Former Gov. Mitt Romney(R-MA) on the cover. Aside from the fact that his first name is Willard, I really knew everything about him. In layman's knowledge, here's what you need to know to vote right in
Twenty-ought-eight on Mitt Romney:

• His father was a politician, running for(and winning) the gubernatorial election in Michigan, but losing his senatorial election. Mitt considers his father, George, his hero.
• His father also was a businessman, buying American Motor Company and turning it into a reputable national car company.
• Mitt is former governor in Massachussetts, in which he was strict on economic reform, while spending billions upon billions for the infamous Boston 'Big Dig' project.
• Mitt helped save the '02 Olympics in Salt Lake City from corruption and bankruptcy, making it, in my opinion, one of the best Winter Olympics ever.
• Mitt is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.(In other words, he's Mormon.[I think you know that.])
• Mitt can't decide on any Karl Rove 'wedge issue.' On abortion: he hates it, but thinks that women have a Constitutional right to choose(which he developed over time-a few months, to be exact); on gun control: he supports it but is against it(after he started his campaign, saying he was an avid hunter; he really just hunted twice for "varmints"); the list goes on. Any question why his nickname in some political circles is "Multiple-Choice Mitt?'
• He raised the most money in the first 6 months of his campaign(the 'money primary').

So, there it is. Mitt Romney, everybody. (Not a lot).

Next week, we go to the other side of the aisle, talking about Sen. Chris Dodd(D-CT).
