He was valedictorian of his graduating class at BYU, and graduated cumlaude at Harvard in law and an MBA in business. His brain is like Bill Clinton's on steroids. The big difference is that he has a sterling character, Hollywood handsome looks(he even had that old evil cow Joy Behar almost creaming in her pants when he came to the View). He turned around companies like Dominos, Staples, and the debt-ridden Salt Lake City Olympics. Are you kidding me? We are going to elect a moose hunter like Sarah Palin or a religious bigot like Huckabee to the White House with the economy coming down around our ears? It's time to get a grown up in the White House.

He was valedictorian of his college class. Got his MBA and law degree at Harvard graduating cum laud. Are you kidding me? His mind is like Bill Clinton's on steroids. The one difference is that he doesn't have any skeletons in his closet like Clinton. We need a president with a sterling character, Hollywood handsome(he even managed to have that old evil cow Joy Behar excited when he came onto The View). We need a turnaround artist to get this economy moving. He's had success at the Olympics, turned around companies like Dominos, Staples, etc. Sarah Palin may be nice, but let's get real, she can't hold a candle to Romney's intellectual firepower!
