Too Much Bunker Mentality
Forgive me - I don't step up in this group very often. For the Article 6 blog to be maximally effective, it requires a certain aloofness. But as I am reading through the blogs this morning, I am sensing too much resignation, too much sense that the rest of the nation just does not get it when it comes to Mitt, too much going through the motions. In the emails there is too much talk of commitment and not enough talk of winning - fighting for the cause. Friends, this is not over, Mitt Romney is not a loser and neither are his supporters. Mitt Romney is THE inheritor of the Reagan legacy, and many of you are too young to really remember Ronald Reagan, but one thing overwhelmingly marked him - confidence and optimism. Ronald Reagan simply knew that the American people would resonate to his message, and they did. He even knew that when Gerry Ford beat him. The Romney candidacy remains the leader and it is not playing ...
Mitt On Demand
Well Mitt's got his work cut out for him going forward. And we are committed to help out in anyway we can. To that end, we've just released our new book " Mitt On Demand " which is a compilation of selected speeches, quotes and sayings by Mitt Romney. The 143 page softbound book lays out in a condensed format Mitt's policy positions, etc. We really want to see a surge of grass roots support for Mitt before Super Tuesday and think this book could be a good way to generate some needed excitement that the race is not over yet! We would be pleased if you would feature the book and this link ( www.MittOnDemand.com ) on your Mittannica site and encourage your lists to buy the book or e-book and/or share it with any undecided's in your circles (or better yet) any McCain supporter.

Trust
I've been trying to get down a series of posts that address the most common attacks on Mitt (flip-flopper, chameleon, can't be trusted, etc.). These charges have not only been the biggest drag on Mitt's campaign, they seem to have become the a priori assumption whenever anyone talks about Mitt. "Yeah, he's a flip-flopper, but he's still..." This DRIVES ME INSANE. So, pardon my not holding a candle to the other excellent writers who blog for Romney, but I've tried to make a few posts that people can easily point at when these charges are made. It may be good if someone with a little more expertise and better familiarity with primary sources could do something similar. I know Romney's campaign makes it a rule to ignore these charges because you don't want to let others define you, but I sense we're past that. They've defined him, and there needs to be a more aggressive response. What do you think...
