Some Yummy Tidbits
A few good reads (I guess one is actually a view), that have nothing to do with each other:
1. Here is a poignant 55 sec. speech by Kentucky Rep. Geoff Davis. Short and oh so sweet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRXsfdsNjeE
2. The Salt Lake Tribune recently did a highlight on Spencer Zwick who is Romney’s National Finance Director. It’s called “Romney’s ‘Sixth son’ Handles Campaign Money”.
Zwick was originally brought on to translate Olympic documents because he speaks Spanish and Thai. Romney was quite impressed with his work ethic and innovative ideas. Zwick has hardly left his side since. Zwick is currently only 28 years old! How old does that make him when he first started working for Romney?
3. From SC for Romney we learn how “Down to Earth” Mitt Romney is. The writer of the article points out several instances of Romney doing things that you wouldn’t find your average multi-millionaire doing: Fixing a rain gutter in the middle of a storm, directing traffic during the Olympics, and showing up to help a neighbor move even though his shoulder was injured.
There’s just something unique about Governor Romney and his willingness to serve others. We often get so jaded towards humanity that this kind of sincerity seems impossible. There is enough evidence in the life of Mitt Romney to prove otherwise. If ever a politician had sincere intentions with regard to a presidential bid–it would be this man.Thanks for the great example, Governor!
Read the article. It’s for your own good.

UPDATE: I just found out that the article from SC for Romney was written by Andru Blomquist who is also a blogger here at this site, so I’ll give credit where credit is due. Andru (in an e-amil) was wondering if any one else out there had personal stories of Mitt Romney that would give us more insight into his character. Please share them in the comments section if you do.

Thanks for linking to the article on the SC site. I had heard of some of those stories, but not all of them. I linked to that blog and wrote one of my own, because yes, Romney did offer up small acts of service like this, but he also offered up large acts of service to his church and to the Olympics. I have never heard of a multi-millionaire so open to serving others.
Great blog! I love the Choose The Romney bumper sticker–it made me laugh the first time I saw it!

I read your blog too Hava. Very nice entry, and excellent points. If you add up the years of service that he has done completely without pay it is remarkable.
Only correction is that he was in France for 2 1/2 years instead of 2.
Keep up the good work.

I seem to recall a post a long time ago on this blog that talked about Mr. & Mrs. Romney flying coach to a family event. That to me indicates he is not pretentious.

Mr. ChuckP,
Thank you for pointing that out.
It took me ninety minutes to find it, but here’s the post that mentions Governor Romney’s flying coach, I figured others might enjoy it as well.

Spencer Zwick is INCREDIBLE! He’s doing a phenomenal job as Mitt’s fund raising director. I’ve never seen a better organized fund raising effort by a presidential candidate in my life.
Thanks Spencer!
