Romney officially in
As we wrote a couple of days ago, ‘08 presidential contender Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, already has organization in Georgia.
Today he formally announced his candidacy, and Ric Mayfield, who runs Georgians for Romney, watched the speech on Romney’s website.
“I thought he did a pretty good job,” Mayfield says.
The Georgia Republican committed to Romney based on what he described as the governor’s record of business prowess. Romney is the former CEO of Bain and Company, a management consulting firm. He is also the co-founder of Bain Capital, a private equity investment firm, and he was CEO and organizer of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
