Another presidential candidate is officially in
There is another officially announced candidate for President as of today, Governor Mitt Romney of Massachusetts.
We are wondering what it takes for him to get significant space in the TU Capitol Confidential bloging? His announce was not mentioned in the AM roundup which posted 19 minutes after his speech in Michigan started. By our geography, his home in Belmont is about the same distance from Albany as his rival Rudy’s is in NYC. There are other candidates from even farther away and from states that aren’t even neighbors that make the cut. So we offer this post and wonder what the TU team has to tell.
We expect we’ll hear much about the man Mitt this month and more in March. Maybe even read about the millions in money he’s mustered. It’s mighty well manifested that he’s a Mormon. For whatever that makes, it seems to be a mandatory missive in every mention.
It is a crowded field this 2008 cycle but there are a few on each side who have distinguished themselves early on, and we’ll be interested to see what the candidates from both sides are bringing to the table.
