Blog 4 - Mitt Romney - Satire

Mitt Romney was born march 12, 1947 is an American entrepreneur who served as the 70^th Governor of Massachusetts from 2003 to 2007. He was the Republican Party’s candidate for the President of United States in the 2012 election. He rose in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, by his parents George W. Romney.  Mitt Romney spent two and a half years in French as a Mormon missionary starting in 1966. He married Ann Davies in 1969, with which he has had five children. By 1971, Romney had contributed in the political campaign of both his parents. In that year, he earned a Bachelor of Arts at Bringham Young and in 1975, a joint Juries Doctor and Master of Business Administration at Harvard.

During the past three weeks, the dynamic of the 2012 presidential election has shifted, and President Obama has moved out to a modest but significant lead against Mitt Romney. No developments in the economy or the world can explain this shift. That leaves the campaigns themselves. And during the past two weeks, Romney’s campaign has revealed itself to be impressively incompetent. Romney’s challenge has always been to keep his distance from the party he is leading—the Republican Party, after all, is farther ideologically from the median voter than is the Democratic Party. And as recently as a few months ago, Romney was in good position to do just that: While the public has seen Barack Obama and his party as more or less vague, they have viewed Romney as a moderate conservative within a highly conservative party. But, Only 26 percent of those who listened to or watched the Republican convention said that it made them more likely to vote for Romney, versus 46 percent less likely.  Finally, Obama leads and he ends up winning, the skeptics—of whom I have been one—will have to acknowledge that the Obama team understands something important about twenty-first century politics that we don’t.  An Obama victory would suggest a more personalized, identity-based brand of politics could trump traditional economic metrics, even when times are tough. For their part, Republicans would have to acknowledge that the current stance and demography of their party don’t provide the basis for a lasting national majority. But then, that’s a lesson they should have learned some time ago.
