Mitt, Mitt, He's My Man!

I am going to let you in on a little secret: I have a crush on Mitt Romney. I suppose it is not too unusual for one to have a crush on such a public figure, but there are many who believe that he is so straight-laced and stiff, like a stuffed suit. I see an attractive man with perfectly "seasoned" salt-and-pepper hair. Although at this point in my life I consider myself to be a republican--a fact that only serves to increase Mitt's attractive factor for me--I feel that I would be open to voting for a democratic nominee if he or she had a platform that better reflected my beliefs. This election I lucked out. Not only do I feel strongly  about my Mitt's candidate's platform, I get the opportunity to see his face plastered throughout  the media. In addition, I have grown weary of the years of high unemployment numbers. In 2009, I was "let go" from a wonderful job because of the downward-spiraling economy. I love this country and the ideals it was built on, and I believe we as a nation have it in us to return to our former glory. This November, I will vote for change; however, it will not be for the campaign with the ironic motto "Change."

  1. This is great, Ms. Gehrke. I confess I have never viewed Mitt as a sex symbol, and unfortunately, I do not agree with many of his positions on the issues. Still, I think he is likely a fine fellow who make a wonderful dinner guest. I doubt I'll ever have that opportunity, though. Oh well.
