Former Mass. Governor Mitt Romney, fresh off his victory last night in Michigan's primary, will campaign in Nevada on Thursday and Friday, a spokeswoman has just confirmed.
Romney plans to canvass Las Vegas, Elko and Reno. Elko is a surprisingly popular spot these days; Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama also plan to campaign there Friday.
Why does he bother? If Nevada Republicans wanted someone who promises corporate welfare to whatever industries exist in whatever state he happens to be visiting, is in favor of continuing the Federal Reserve's devaluing of the dollar, and will raise our taxes, all while further restricting our civil liberties, we'd find other candidates to vote for. Vote for the only Republican for peace, freedom, lower taxes, and economic prosperity: Ron Paul.
I'll tell you why Mitt: no one in the field has his knowledge of the economy or is expertise in turning things around. He's got executive experience, experience in the economy, turned around the Salt Lake Olympics when they invited him in to clean up the ethical and financial mess his predecessors made (and turned a huge deficit into a surplus), and he balanced a $3 billion budget deficit in Massachusetts. He's succeeded at everything he's tried, and he's committed to building the economy in Nevada and the entire US. I'm for Mitt because of this experience and because it's obvious the economy is headed south, and if we want to get out of the mess you don't elect a career senator who admits to not knowing enough about the economy (McCain) or someone likely to raise taxes (Huckabee, Clinton, Obama). Looking at the results for all the races, it's clear the republicans in NH, WY and MI all preferred Mitt.
