Romney could be our next governor, but is he interested?By A2 Conservative, Section News
(Promoted by Nick... interesting discussion...)
Unfortunately for those of us who would have liked to see Mitt Romney be the standard bearer for the national Republicans in November, he saved his best speech for last when he was withdrawing from the race. His speech at CPAC established him as the true conservative voice who would have been our best choice as nominee. That did not happen, so it's important that we now focus on where he goes from here. Larry Di Rita on NRO suggests that a logical next step for Mitt would be to become MICHIGAN Governor Mitt Romney:
"By returning to his home state of Michigan and running to succeed term-limited Democrat Jennifer Granholm in 2010, Romney has the chance to be elected and govern as a solid conservative in a state in which conservatives have excelled. The electorate remembers the 1990s as one of low and falling taxes, economic growth, and conservative leadership under three-term Governor John Engler, who left office in 2003."
This is certainly an intriguing possibility and I believe that the nomination here would be Romney's for the taking. He'd be Dick DeVos without the negative Amway background. He's also from a part of the state in SE Michigan and specifically Oakland County that Republicans need to do significantly better in to win statewide races. Mitt Romney could put Oakland County back in the Republican column in 2010. (It should be noted that Republicans are in good shape there anyway because of what Kwame is doing to the Democrat name in greater SE Michigan.)
If Mitt Romney was elected and able to clean up the disaster area known as Jennifer Granholm's Michigan, I believe he'd be in great shape going into 2016. This time, he'd also have to run for a second term in 2014 unlike in Massachusetts. While some people wouldn't like the fact that we'd know going in that he wouldn't be committed to serving this state for two full terms, I still believe we'd reap many benefits. Romney would have plenty of incentive to govern this state like a true conservative, championing lower taxes and smaller government in order to lock up the future nomination for President.
