I know Mitt and have spent time with him on issues of interest to the majority on this board. He is clearly the most intelligent politician I have ever met (including Newt). His answers are clear and thoughtful. While not all his positions would suit every member of this board, he is clearly the most compatible at this time.

Yes, he was born into an accomplished family (is there something wrong with that?), but he accomplish a great deal on his own, at Bain, in charitable efforts, and as Governor under very difficult circumstances.

He has a high energy level, physically and mentally. He runs 5 miles 3-4 times a week even on the campaign trail and his fitness level is obvious.

He lives a moral life of values. All the remaining contenders have potential skeletons from their past.

He attracts good people around him and he has very high standards for their performance. A president gets to appoint 31 positions. It matters who he appoints. We do not need Keriks.

He is a good campaigner. No one will work harder or smarter to defeat Hillary.

He is disliked and feared the most by the democrats and MSM.

I have voted in 11 presidential elections and have never felt better about voting for someone as I do voting for Mitt.

I am not associated with him in any way other than having up close knowledge of him.

Kids that accomplish the most have parents that did the same. Hence the problems in schools with kids in poverty - they do what they see at home. So I see it as a plus that he came from smart parents PLUS continued the accomplishments. He's no Paris-type.

Russert tried to get in the class envy thing by bringing up how much money Romney was putting into his campaign. I thought he answered it well and didn't give into the agenda.

Romney is the most liberal Governor in the history of the republic, from either party. And now he’s deceiving the people. Any Republican who votes for him is either naive in the extreme, or isn’t a conservative in the first place.

I wish I could meet him and sit down for 15 minutes to talk to him.

Thanks for sounding off. It has been readily apparent to me for some time that Mitt is the superior candidate. It is becoming apparent to many others as this race goes on.
