Romney: Born for this job

Elizabeth Davidson, Assumption High SchoolOn Jan. 3, I will not only be caucusing for Mitt Romney, but take the role as a precinct leader at my caucus location. This is one of the numerous tasks I have committed to carry out on my journey through the Presidential Election of 2008. While currently an advocate of Mitt Romney, I have not always felt this way about the governor. Throughout my experience with First Vote, I had the opportunity to attend candidate’s events.
By personally witnessing the governor’s charisma, honesty, intelligence, compassion and hope for America, I have discerned that Mitt Romney must be the next president of the United States. Mitt’s values and beliefs on issues match my own.
In addition, I believe Mitt will be the best man for president because he has displayed tremendous accomplishments. As a former successful businessmen, head of the 2002 Winter Olympics, and governor of Massachusetts who brought a
3 billion dollar deficit to a 2 billion dollar surplus without raising taxes, Mitt has proven he is an effective leader. He is the only candidate I trust to determine America’s future. There are many good candidates in this race, but Mitt Romney is the only great candidate. I believe Mitt Romney was born to be the next president.

    The more I learn about Mitt Romney the more excited I get about the future of America. He is going to be a great President. He has vision, talent, charisma, and the intelligence to do a great work in the White House!

    I am campaining for him and invite everyong to read “Atlas Shrugged” by Ayn Rand. Mitt Romney is the kind of man she writes about.

    “It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly…who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
    Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
