Can Romney Save the Republican Party?
Rumour has it there’s a big name not currently associated with the Republican National Committee, that isn’t Newt Gingrich, considering a run for RNC Chair. In what may or may not be related, Michael Goldfarb wonders aloud…what aboot Mitt Romney? So sayeth Mr. Goldfarb:
Humor me. If the Republican Party were a business, it would be General Motors, or maybe Ford if one were feeling more charitable. Like Ford, the Republican party is a failing business that could, with good management, a lot of money, and some new products, once again become profitable. There is no one in America who has a better record than Mitt Romney at turning around failing enterprises, there is no Republican who can better deliver a message, and there is no Republican (except Palin perhaps) who can raise as much money.
Goldfarb’s points aside, I’d like to add one more…the RNC could definitely need a little thinking “outside of the box,” or at least outside of the box they keep all their boilerplate responses to every thing the Democrats do. Someone like Mitt Romney, especially with the economy being the way it is and no one knowing just what the Obama Dynasty has in store for us, would definitely make things interesting.
Draft Mitt?
UPDATE: It was announced that Ann Romney has been diagnosed with breast cancer. As someone whose mother is a breat cancer survivor, I’d like to send my thoughts at prayers to the Romney family.
UPDATE DEUX: In the “what might have been” department, do you think Romney would have ever vetoed an ad like this?
