Mitt Romney Worked Chauffeur

Mitt Romney Worked Chauffeur, Mitt Romney’s first job was a chauffeur for a university physics department. One summer, he also worked as a security guard at a Chrysler plant. Willard Mitt Romney (born March 12, 1947) is an American businessman and politician. He was the 70th Governor of Massachusetts from 2003 to 2007 and is a candidate for the 2012 Republican Party presidential nomination.

The son of George W. Romney (the former Governor of Michigan) and Lenore Romney, Mitt Romney was raised in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and later served as a Mormon missionary in France. He married Ann Romney in 1969 and they have five children. He received his undergraduate degree from Brigham Young University, and then earned a joint JD and MBA from Harvard University.

Romney entered the management consulting business, which led to a position at Bain & Company. Eventually serving as CEO, Romney brought the company out of crisis. He was co-founder and head of the spin-off company Bain Capital, a private equity investment firm that became highly profitable and one of the largest such firms in the nation.

His wealth helped fund most of his future political campaigns. Active in his church, he served as ward bishop and later stake president in his area. He ran as the Republican candidate in the 1994 U.S. Senate election in Massachusetts, losing to long-time incumbent Ted Kennedy. Romney organized and steered the 2002 Winter Olympics as head of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee, and helped turn the troubled games into a financial success.

Romney was elected Governor of Massachusetts in 2002 but did not seek re-election in 2006. He presided over a series of spending cuts and increases in fees that eliminated an up to $1.5 billion deficit. He also signed into law the Massachusetts health care reform legislation, which provided near-universal health insurance access via subsidies and state-level mandates and was the first of its kind in the nation. During the course of his political career, his positions or rhetorical emphasis have shifted more towards American conservatism in several areas.

Romney ran for the Republican nomination in the 2008 U.S. presidential election, winning several primaries and caucuses, but eventually losing the nomination to John McCain. In the following years, he gave speeches and raised campaign funds on behalf of fellow Republicans. On June 2, 2011, Romney announced that he would seek the 2012 Republican presidential nomination. The results of the caucuses and primaries so far place him as the leader in the race.

Mitt Romney Family

Mitt Romney Family, Mitt Romney kept it coy with Iowa to the end.Even in his final hours of caucus campaigning Tuesday in and around Des Moines, the former Massachusetts governor made a lower-key play for Iowans’ support compared with four years ago when he finished second to Mike Huckabee. Romney’s Tuesday was dominated by TV interviews rather than personal appearances in front of Iowans.

The candidate pulled off a win in the Iowa GOP caucus, besting Rick Santorum by just eight votes.

Last time around, Romney preferred a canine strategy in 2008 – dogging Iowa voters from diner to diner around the state and even sending his third-born son, Josh, on a summertime odyssey through all 99 counties to see the world’s largest truck stop, bull and catfish and to toss a ball at the “Field of Dreams” near Dyersville.

This cycle, Romney’s mindset seemed more catlike; Iowa had been the half-dead mouse that either would become his figurative first-in-the-nation snack, or, if it escaped his grasp, could be chalked up to finicky nonchalance.

Josh said Tuesday that he spent last summer campaigning out West – Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona – rather than in Iowa.

But Romney in recent days did indulge in belated, last-minute Iowa barnstorming. Another son, Matt, characterized the effort and voter response Tuesday as “a nice crescendo here towards the end.”

Romney’s pre-results push began at 8:20 a.m. Tuesday, with his sole official rally at the Temple for Performing Arts in downtown Des Moines. An audience of about 100 was surrounded by a swarm of media in the renovated Masonic temple.

Romney took the stage decked out in a literal blue-collar outfit: blue button-down shirt beneath a blue V-neck sweater plus blue jeans. Wife Ann, introduced as “the Mitt Stabilizer,” invoked her “Welsh grandfather, who worked in the coal mines” as a working-class touchstone.

There were to be no bold predictions – just Tagg observing that the campaign might last another two weeks (if his father wins Iowa and New Hampshire) or could drag on for six months.
