Mitt Romney has officially entered the race for the Republican nomination for president in 2008.
DEARBORN, Mich. – Mitt Romney officially entered the 2008 presidential race Tuesday, a former one-term Republican governor of Massachusetts suggesting that his record of leadership inside and outside government uniquely positions him to tackle the country's challenges.
"I do not believe Washington can be transformed from within by lifetime politicians," Romney said, seeking to turn a potential liability, his limited political experience, into an asset. "There have been too many deals, too many favors, too many entanglements — and too little real world experience managing, guiding, leading."
The article calls that last bit a "veiled swipe" at John McCain. Not much of a veil, there. These presidential campaigns are getting to be much too long and much too expensive. And crowded. It's interesting how the AP makes it a point to say Romney has "limited" political experience. They really don't emphasize that point in the majority of the coverage about Barack Obama, do they?
