Romney Has Earned His Spurs - Likely 2012 Presidential Candidate

Interesting happenings at CPAC where Romney came in miles ahead of other potential candidates. Palin skipped out again and Huckabee came humbly low in the results. In Detroit's Free Press, they titled an article, "Time might be right for Romney Presidential Run: Former Michigander maintains presense with book, frequent events", they said:

Many establishment conservatives who once viewed Romney with suspicion
because of his roots in liberal Massachusetts and his past support of abortion
and gay rights have been won over, says Tony Fabrizio, a GOP pollster who ran
the straw poll.
Romney, the son of former Michigan Gov. George W. Romney, is
a native Michigander.
“They view him as one of the party’s elder statesmen,”
Fabrizio says. “They see him as more thoughtful and measured than before, with
nothing to prove. He’s earned his spurs.”


It is nice to remember that Romney is a native Michigander who did a stint in liberal Massachusetts. To me, I like the idea that Romney knows how to work with Democrats - perhaps he will get more done for the American people than Barak Obama who appears unfamilar with the Art of Negotiation.
