Romney’s Pennsylvania Man
http://blogs.mcall.com/pe…ys_pennsyl.html
One of our readers, Conservative Gladiator, pointed out this article which is an interview with Charles Kopp. Kopp is the State Campaign Chairman in Pennsylvania. His perspective and experiences are interesting, I would recommend reading the whole article.
This short part tells about when he first met MR 2008:
Why Mitt Romney?
I could have supported any one of the three [GOP frontrunners]. The reason I ended up with Mr. Romney was a friend of mine from Boston who is Romney’s northeast finance chairman who I have known for years called me last October and told me that the governor would like to come into Pennsylvania – he said, “He really doesn’t know a lot of people, maybe you could get 15 or 20 business people, community leaders, just a meet and greet.” … I said I’d be glad to do it. … I got 15 or 20 people together. The meeting lasted about an hour and he stayed another hour with me and some other people. I was so impressed with the guy that I said to my friend, “This was a set up. You knew that if I spent two hours with the guy I would be taken by him.” And I was.
Yeah, he has that effect on people.

Great excerpt from the entire article! It’s too bad we can’t get every American in a room with GMR for two hours one on one. Then again, the debates are coming.

Ha ha RHR. You make him sound like Jack Bauer - “Give me two hours in the room with him. I’ll make him see things my way.”
