A Complete Class Act Governor Romney
No matter what Governor Romney chooses to do with the rest of his life. Should he run for President again, or do something completely different and go back into the private sector. America is a better place for having known him.
From A surprising aftermath to Mitt Romney’s campaign
Rich candidates like, say, Mitt Romney can be willing to put a large chunk of their own dough into the effort — and not charge interest. As we recently reported here, the former Massachusetts governor and his wife of 38 years, Ann, decided together to pour $42.3 million of their own money into his ultimately unsuccessful $98-million effort.
Except for being shot at, nothing focuses your mind quicker than reaching for your own wallet.
Later Down the Article:
Another option is simply to quit and close up shop yourself out of the spotlight. When Romney did disappointingly on Super Tuesday, he met with his staff the next day like a businessman. He read the delegate and expense numbers, confirmed how unlikely it was to catch McCain in delegates and, surprisingly quickly, pulled the plug during a thoughtful speech to the Conservative Political Action Committee 48 hours later that left little doubt he’d be back in GOP politics.
A week after that, again surprisingly quickly during such a healing period, Romney heartily endorsed McCain and, literally, stepped aside on that stage and off.
Now, instead of a public plea for more money to cover the massive debts of his yearlong failed effort, here’s what you get at the Romney campaign’s shuttered website.
You can’t get much better than that, class.

Ann Marie,
You don’t have to post this, but I’m wondering how to contact Gov. Romney’s campaign. They asked me for money to help with Super Tuesday and promised me a signed T-shirt in return. I haven’t got the shirt and I’d really like to have it. Any ideas would be appreciated.

To Governor Romney, Ann and family,
From the bottom of my heart, thank you! Your sacrifices will forever be remembered. You gave HOPE, in a time when it is so lacking. We buried my Dad in Tennessee in 2005. It was his birth place and mine. I only wish he would have had the opportunity to know you. He would have supported you in every way. He worked for the AEC/NRC for 25 years and never wavered on his integrity. He was a Nuclear Physicist, and raised 4 children, following the loss of his wife, ( my mother). You remind me so much of him. God bless you and all your loved ones. You have helped in changing the way the world perceives members of the Mormon faith. Again, thank you,
Elizabeth
