Just currious what makes him more of a "good old family man" like ozzie and the Beav more so than Obama?

Other than of course Ozzie and Romney are white, I mean....

Americans will get a President that precisely reflects their interests and understanding. Don't expect much.

Oh really, I'll put Obama up against either Romney or McCain, in a debate, and he'll wipe up the floor with them. The man is a tremendous orator.

this is for the person that said Romney was an empty suit.

"Many people outside Massachusetts aren’t aware that only Massachusetts has a communism based auto-insurance industry. Lobbyists supporting the auto insurance conglomerates in the 80’s corruptly convinced the liberal senate that EVERYONE pays the same rate for insurance. It is illegal to an insurance company to charge less for a good driving record. Bad drivers, illegal drivers are all subsidized by the rest of us. It is a Monopoly, and the rates are outrageous - highest in the industry.

ROMNEY fought tooth-and-nail to overturn this and WON. Dispite a liberal state senate on Beacon Hill HE DID IT. He broke the strong and corrupt socialism ring up to let the free-market rule. A HUGE VICTORY. He Said NO when the lobbyists came knocking, he did it.
Once ROMNEY was gone from office, the special interests and corrupt lobbyists for the insurance agencies came knocking and Deval Patrick overturned the ruling and WE HAVE COMMUNISM AGAIN!!!!!!!

SO DON’T TELL ME ROMNEY DOESN’T FIGHT AND WIN. DON’T TELL ME HIS SUCCESS IS THEORETICAL. THIS GUY IS A DOER, A FIGHTER, AND IS PASSIONATE ABOUT AMERICA AND MAKING AMERICA GREAT. MAKING IT SUCCEED. Annand"

"I am from Massachusetts - Mitt Romney was Hands-down, the best governor we have had in 20 years. He closed a 3 BILLION dollar defect (turned it into a 150 million dollar surplus), cracked down on corruption jailing Mob Boss family members in high position who government before him were too scared to touch. He fought almost weekly against the Gay Marriage activists, He cut taxes, streamlined inefficient government agencies, I also had a chance to hear him address a small group of MBA students at Harvard in person, and all I can say is he is larger than life. He is a Leader’s Leader. I have heard leaders speak from all over the world, but I can count on one hand the leaders who move and shake the ground and truly know how to bring about change like Mitt Romney. This country would be foolish to not elect him to the presidency. Bryan"

Are you kidding me? He had horrible approval ratings

Quote:
Laying the foundation of a presidential candidacy, Governor Mitt Romney has spent all or part of 212 days outside Massachusetts so far in 2006, an average of more than four days on the road each week, a Globe review of his public schedules shows.
Quote:
A new poll finds that 70% of Massachusetts residents -- and 64% of Republicans -- say Governor Mitt Romney has been doing a fair-to-poor job. The public opinion survey, to be released Thursday, shows that voters are losing faith in elected officials while nearly half of those polled believe the state is "on the wrong track
