Mighty Mo’?
Interesting article in last month’s American Spectator that just came to my attention.
I wouldn’t typically be interested in the political fortunes of a Northeastern Republican. And as a Texas conservative some of the ideals of Mitt Romney don’t strike a chord. But Romney is an honest, hard-working “Mormon” (like me, in fact), and that is intriguing.
I don’t know if we’re ever going to have another true conservative in the mold of Ronald Reagan running for the Presidency again in my lifetime. With the state of presidential politics now–the “oppo” team seems to be the most important component of any campaign–all you have to do is apply enough tar-brushstrokes to take your opponent down into the low-30s.
That said, I think the George W. Bush-type “centrist” is the best we can expect. I’d sooner have Mitt Romney in there than just about anyone else I can think of right now.
At least you can count on the MoTab entertaining at the innauguration.
