		<description>Thanks for your comments Greg, I totally agree.  And it should be &lt;em&gt;blatantly&lt;/em&gt; obvious to anyone who compares the two, that Barack Obama&#039;s resume withers in the presence of Mitt Romney&#039;s.</description>

		<description>I think Romney ran into a bit of a “... McCain has Paid HIS Dues” narrative in the homestretch of the 2008 campaign and it hurt the campaign. To date, Romney has spent the last two years in the trenches - working behind the scenes to advance the Conservative message wherever he can and making the effort to build the networks necessary to ensure Republican victories in the 2010 and 2012 Election Cycles.
       
I think he should continue to keep a lower profile that doggedly takes the message to the smaller rural precincts while consolidating and organizing an effective ground campaign that concentrates on Romney&#039;s unique skills. The Romney people would also do well to dust-up the image a bit - something more earthy. An open collar shirt, Carhaart Jacket - a little dirt under the fingernails while tossing some hay bails onto a wagon  would be just about right.

The message must be staid, earnest and focused on his ability to deliver Fiscal Responsibility in Washington. He has the expertise in these issues and the bona fides of Executive Experience to bolster the &#039;Good Man In A Storm&#039; image.

Romney should adopt the &quot;Repeal and Replace&quot; platform - a narrative that is stridently against ObamaCare, while at the same time making the case for HealthCare Reform that is more market centered with the emphasis on the Cost-cutting Measures of Torte Reform and Access to Coverage Across State Lines.

Implementing these two measures alone combined with Romney&#039;s Experience with the Health Care Issues in Massachusetts provides the key elements to actually implementing &quot;Reform&quot; in a very pragmatic way that will keep the Washington Bureaucrats from mandating their centrally controlled approach to Health Care for all of America.
 
One can maybe make the argument that the Massachusetts plan is not &quot;Perfect&quot;, but to Romney&#039;s credit, he was a voice of reason, in a stormy sea of State Controlled Progressives who demanded mandates - he wielded the VETO pen effectively on some parts and made some compromises in return. In the end, the experience gained on the issues provides him with the depth and knowledge to fashion a truly Meaningful Reform Plan.

Let&#039;s Remember that Governor Romney&#039;s past Executive Experience in developing a winning Retail formula for Staples, his fiscal turnaround of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and his Business Acumen and Leadership Experience are exactly the Skill Sets that America desperately requires.

Can the present occupant of The White House even compete at this level -- It’s not even Close!!</description>
