1) Romney has worked in the private sector.
2) Romney has "organized" and led a major effort like the Winter Olympics.
3) Romney has been a Governor that had to balance a budget each and every year.

All those things...and he still sucks ass. I see almost no difference in Mittens and Obama. Both are lousy as hell.[/quote]

I'm certainly not a Romney guy but as an ABO voter, he will have to do.

For all the criticism of him from the right, folks forget something. A "Republican" in Massachusetts is like a blue dog democrat. The GOP has so little influence in that state that when you "work with the opposition" what comes out of it is a lite version of what the liberals would likely have done themselves. Kind of like faux conservative guv Arnold S. in California. In other words, past results are not indicative of future results, or something like that. We don't know how Romney will operate in the wild, as his past results were not achieved in a politically balanced environment. I'm under no delusions he is conservative, though. More like a centrist that might need to be nudged right on some issues.
