Have you been following the Presidential Campaign?
It's not nearly as exciting as 2008 but it's had its moments. Poor Mitt Romney. Everyone is speaking pretty openly about how the GOP is looking for someone, anyone, who can challenge Obama that is not Romney. They're not even hiding their dislike of him!
Romney fascinates me. Son of a former Michigan Governor. A former Republican governor himself, of one of the most liberal states in the country. And he passed sweeping health care reform while in office!
Did you know while Mitt was abroad as a young man, he got into a car accident in France and the person in the passenger seat died (What is it with politicians and fatal car accidents)?
Did you know Mitt had his first child while still a college student? This NPR piece on Bain & Co. (an amazing name for a company, by the way), where Romney used to be CEO, was really interesting. Did you know Mitt Romney practically founded Staples?
But my favorite Mitt Story is a car story of a much lighter (actually darker, browner) tone. Oh, Mitt.
