MITT ROMNEY FINDS HIS
VOICE
01/17/2008
Governor Romney's decisive win in Michigan has given him
the legitimacy he's been lacking since he jumped into the deep end of the
Presidential campaign. Voters have been indifferent to Romney's message.
Seeing him more of a well constructed talking head rather than something
more genuine. Romney's decision to focus on the economy for the Michigan
primary resulted in a shift in tone from polished and professional to a
more natural, positive message.
Romney is a venture capitalist,
and a very successful one. So it stands to reason he would seem more
comfortable talking about how to revitalize the economy rather than
abortion. Romney knows how to make money and he understands how to jump
start a failing economy so it's no wonder he sounds positive and upbeat.
Then again it hard not to top John McCain’s "the lost jobs were gone
forever, and Michiganders needed to think harder about worker retraining".
Romney is showing us that a positive message works. And having ideas on
how to help the Michigan economy doesn't hurt either. His plan to block
government imposed fuel efficiency standards brought a smile to the face
of Detroit’s auto trade as well as small government Conservatives..
He's hitting his stride now and with the economy taking center
stage over Iraq Romney may have found the vehicle he needs to overtake
Senator McCain.
