Group likes his Olympic, business perspectives

The Salt Lake Tribune

The National Ski Areas Association likes Mitt Romney’s perspective and has arranged for the Republican presidential candidate and former organizer of Salt Lake City’s Olympics to be keynote speaker at its annual meeting in May.

“Not only does he possess a unique perspective of the ski industry, given his work in organizing the [2002] Winter Olympics, but we’re confident that [former Massachusetts] Gov. Romney’s pro-business, small-government message will resonate with a number of our member ski area owners and operators,” said NSAA President Michael Berry.

He said Romney’s appearance at the national convention and trade show, May 2-5 in Orlando, Fla., will occur shortly after the scheduled spring publication of No Apology: The Case for American Greatness . In that book, Romney is expected to address 21st Century challenges facing the United States.

As I have said many times on these pages, after Gov. Romney withdrew from the primary race a year ago, I saw him following in Ronald Reagan’s footsteps after Reagan was denied the Republican Party’s nomination in 1976.

Gov. Reagan didn’t throw a hissy fit, he just quietly started building a bigger, stronger organization, criss crossing the country, working the rubber chicken circuit, raising money and campaigning for candidates and filling up a reservoir of goodwill. Gov. Romney is replicating that strategy and I believe he will get the same results as Gov. Reagan did in 1980, he will win the Republican Party’s nomination for President in 2012.

About all Mitt Romney could say for certain Tuesday about his future is that he plans to continue working for Republican candidates, at least through next year’s mid-term elections.

No, he hasn’t decided if he’s going to run again for president. No, he’s not going to speculate on whether his Mormon faith would be less of an issue in 2012 or what it would be like to face another LDS candidate if Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. gets in the race.

And no, Romney doesn’t know where he and his wife, Ann, will call home once they’ve sold their Boston-area house, or if they’ll ever buy another place in Utah to replace their former vacation villa in Deer Valley.

Romney, who was in Salt Lake City on Tuesday to campaign for Sen. Bob Bennett, R-Utah, said what’s important to him now are the upcoming congressional elections.

“When you’re in the minority, you band together and you work for those races,” he told the Deseret News. “That’s what I’m doing.”

Some would say Romney, the former leader of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and a former governor of Massachusetts, is also setting himself up for a second try at the White House by building party ties.

Here is a Mark Steyn YouTube video from last year’s CPAC meeting where he speaks very highly of Mitt Romney. At about the 5:10 mark, listen to him speak about Mitt’s ability to make money showing the world sports that “nobody likes.”

I can’t believe I never put these up before, but tonight as I was blogging for another blog and searching for Sarah Hughes’ Gold Medal Performance I found Mitt Romney’s remarks, so I figured better late than never time to get them up here. And without further adieu, here they are.
