Let's Play a Game - You are Mitt Romney
You are Mitt and want to run for President. You were the Republican governor of what many Americans consider to be the most liberal state in the country. Your history strongly suggests you are a moderate Republican who was fairly well received during his term in Massachusetts. You are a Morman. You obviously want to run in the Republican party. Just as obvious is the fact that it is controlled to a large degree by what can graciously be described as a bunch of Looney Tunes who think that the earth is flat and the moon is made of green cheese.
So, how do you get the nomination? You are smart, accomplished, a successful businessman who has made something like $250 Million. You implemented a health plan that is surprisingly similar to Obama's. If you want some specifics of his term you can find it here:
You will find that you probably agree with some actions and not others. He seems like a moderate, reasonable Republican. I doubt that you get the nomination by saying you are going to do the same things for the country. The wacky doodles wouldn't stand for it. You don't talk much about your Massachusetts accomplishments, do you? And your religion? I think you don't bring that up either. Isn't the only way to get the nomination to move right, way right? What would you do differently? How would you be playing this game?
