Mitt Romney makes second bid for White House

Los Angeles Times:

Republican front-runner Mitt Romney signaled his intention to make jobs and the economy the focus of his campaign as he kicked off his second try for president with an attack on President Obama's "failed" policies.

With an empty New Hampshire football field as a backdrop, the former Massachusetts governor recorded a two-minute video announcement Monday that included nods toward the more conservative "tea party" elements of his party. His campaign sent it to supporters, then posted it online.

Quite a contrast here between Romney's minimalist approach and Pawlentys kinetic, melodramatic spot declaring his own candidacy a few weeks ago. T-Paw breaks out the bells and whistles because he needs to get people's attention, Mitt opts for understatement to convince voters that he's authentic and sincere. He's wearing the campaign equivalent of a plaid shirt while Pawlenty's decked out in a sequined jacket.

 

I think this works in Romney's favor, sincere or not. He can afford to look like an "Average guy" and run that way.

He's high in the polls now because of name recognition. I'm curious where he'll be after the other GOP candidates pound him with the blueprint for Obambicare: Romneycare.
