Der Washington Examiner meint zu Romney:
http://campaign2012.washingtonexaminer. ... ice/256896Romney will bring back to the Oval Office a faith in the ability of every individual to achieve his or her greatest hopes, and an unwavering pride in America and its limitless potential for greatness. He understands the American dream because his family has lived it. His father, George Romney, rose from humble roots to run a Detroit auto company and win election as governor of Michigan before running for the presidency. Mitt Romney made his own fortune in business, turned the floundering 2002 Winter Olympics into a financial success, and later that year won the governorship of Massachusetts. He has a capacious but disciplined intellect; he drives himself relentlessly but leads without using his whip hand; in line with Mormon practice, he gives 10 percent of his money to his church; he has been married to his high school sweetheart for 42 years and has five admirable children and 16 grandchildren.
Romney has the misfortune of being an earnest man running in an ironic time, and the leitmotif of the Republican race so far has been the search for the “anti-Romney.” Party activists reached out to several men who declined to run, and then Republican voters lavished their affections on, successively, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, Herman Cain and now Newt Gingrich, all the while keeping Romney’s poll numbers hovering around 25 percent. They have been searching for a candidate who shared their conservative principles, who had strength of character, and who, above all, could beat Barack Obama. We believe this candidate has been hiding in plain sight. Mitt Romney is not “too perfect,” as some political analysts have argued, but he is perfect enough.
National Review meint:
http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/ ... itors?pg=2Governor Romney won our endorsement last time, in part because some of the other leading candidates were openly hostile to important elements of conservatism. He is highly intelligent and disciplined, and he takes conservative positions on all the key issues. We still think he would make a fine president, but time and ceaseless effort have not yet overcome conservative voters’ skepticism about the liberal aspects of his record and his managerial disposition.
Zudem scheint Romney den Umfragen zu Folge die besten Chancen zu haben, Obama zu schlagen.
Gegen Romney sprechen:
- sein mormonischer Glaube (meiner Meinung nach kein stichhaltiges Argument)
- "Romneycare" (nicht wirklich vergleichbar mit Obamacare. Obamacare würde er wohl zurücknehmen)
Für Romney sprechen:
- keine große persönlichen Skandale
- recht beständige konservative Linie
- beste Umfragewerte gegen Obama
- hat sich bisher in den Debatten gut geschlagen
Was haltet ihr von Romney, der wahrscheinlich 2012 gegen Barack Obama antreten wird?
