Mitt Romney has finally announced he is running for president. He made the announcement in front of a farm house. (kinda corny).
I'm thinking he is starting off on the wrong foot. "Barack Obama has failed America," Mr. Romney declared. Is he going to have a campaign of mostly saying negative things about Obama?
In my opinion having a campaign based on negative remarks about the other guy is a good way NOT to get elected. Remember the last election. I think Obama won because John McCain was an awful candidate. I remember watching the last Obama and McCain debate, it was embarrassing. Obama was talking ideas, and McCain could only cut him down, expressing nothing new or constructive. Here is a picture of McCain in action at that debate:
Why can't Romney base his campaign on his ideas and plans? To be fair, his speech today did outline some of his ideas, but he needs to make sure the negativity does not get out of hand. Maybe using a negative angle is the only way politics works these days?
Will his Mormon religion hurt his chances? Maybe not. Our recent experience with Harold Camping has taught us that a lot of people in America want to believe anything and are accepting of other's beliefs.
