You could say that the reason I’m a Romney guy is because of the unrelenting Romney-boosting on the Hugh Hewitt radio show. Hugh has his book A Mormon in the White House to promote shamelessly and so it’s been Romney, Romney, Romney now for weeks.
Still I couldn’t help but notice the centerpiece of Mitt’s campaign. In China they would call it the Three Strongs.
- Strengthen America’s Military
- Strengthen America’s Economy
- Strengthen America’s Families
He got in his licks on the Three Strongs on the Tonight Show on Wednesday here.
Then he got it in on the debate in Simi Valley on Thursday evening here.
We’ll probably get sick of it before we’re done. But of course it exactly fits the center-right agenda.
Notice how it also dovetails with the women’s agenda as expressed by 18 Doughty Street Brit Iain Dale:
They want to feel secure in their family, in their home and in their community.
There is also this important plug on Romney from Hugh Hewitt. It has to do with Romney’s media presence. Romney, he writes, is a candidate
who has had a graduate school education in hadling the MSM, broadcast and print variety... Watching the second President Bush debate was perhaps the greatest trial GOP activists had to endure in the campaigns of 2000 and 2004.
I’ll say. Expecially if you happened to be watching him with a Democrat.
But Romney excels in debate and on TV. Imagine him easily trading one liners with Jay Leno. Imagine being relaxed every time your candidate comes up to bat, and expecting him to deliver a solid base hit every time he’s at bat.
And imagine a candidate who, every so often, lofts the ball over the fences.
