Mitt Romney is now king of the hill -- at least of the GOP.
Having weathered with grace and truth the primary gauntlet of a former House Speaker, a stalwart libertarian, and a contrarian social conservative, the former Massachusetts governor has arrived. Seven years of invested grassroots campaigning and preparation have finally paid off. Romney has proven to the political class and the American people that he is worthy and able to be the next President of the United States.
Because his GOP challengers have raked him over for everything from the controversial medical insurance mandate to his gradual shift from moderate to conservative on certain social issues, he has exhausted the sting of these attacks during the general election. Obama's cash flow from Hollywood and left-leaning Super-PACs will only retread the same tired arguments which failed to deter Romney from the nomination.
He has fought back against unjust attacks on his record as a senior member of Bain Capital.
He has overridden any dissension over the medical insurance mandate in Massachusetts, which President Obama has trumpeted was the blue print for ObamaCare.He has waged a decisive and consistent battle against more right-leaning stalwarts. No longer an "etch-a-sketch" candidate, Romney is shaping up to be considerable opponent to the beleaguered incumbent.
Following his sudden support for gay marriage, Obama has alienated swing voters in swing states, including Iowa, Nevada, and North Carolina. 2012 will secure for every political scientist that 2008 was a Facebook fluke in response to a steep and stark anti-incumbent climate. On no other issue has Romney presented a more unified stance than his opposition to gay marriage, a policy which a growing majority of voters across the country share.
Following Wisconsin Governor Scott's Walker certain victory over a weakening recall effort, Romney may take two of the Great Lakes states for the GOP for the first time in over two decades.
President Obama has no record to run on, and he is running out of attacks to run against the former Massachusetts governor, who balanced budgets with an oppositional legislature all four years, assisting job growth and tax relief for voters in the Bay State.
Romney has tenacity, character, and experience: everything that this country is looking for in a Presidential candidate. Here's to his decisive victory in November.
