The purpose of this blog is to show America what is wrong with our country, but also offer solutions on how to fix those problems. I am seventeen but I carefully follow politics because it is my future, and what ever mistakes are made now, my generation will have to fix.

Mitt Romeny
Now finally here is a real candidate, and one that has a good chance of getting the nomination, if not the presidency. After doing some research on Mitt Romney I feel that he can turn this country around, something 70% of Americans want. After turning around the company he worked for, created a company that would turn others around, saving the Salt Lake City Olympics, and turning around Massachusetts, trying to turn the US around would be his biggest challenge, but one I think he will tackle head on. As Governor of Massachusetts he showed he can make both parties work with each other and get things done. Just like any candidate he has a couple of things against him. One he is LDS, but I do not think this is such a big problem this time around because this has not seemed to hurt him in the polls, but it is too early to tell. Also as Governor of Massachusetts he signed a healthcare bill similar to the one President Obama put into place, but so far he has defended himself well by using the 10th amendment to defend it. Other advantages he has is with his ability to fund raise he should be able to raise more than the other Republicans, and should stay even with Obama. I also think that he is close enough to the Tea Party that he should be able to use them to create enthusiasm, but because he is not closely tied it should not hurt him in the general election. Overall I feel Romney has the ability to gain the GOP nomination, and go toe-to-toe with Obama, and hopefully win.
