The media anoints Mitt Romney for the 2012 presidency
This video clearly shows that the media has picked Mitt Romney for 2012
by Joseph Ernest December 7, 2010
Newscast Media --Of all the three politicians, Palin, Romney and Obama, Mitt Romney is the most highly favored by the media as the video shows above. Long before even Obama came on the scene, the media had already picked the former Massachusetts governor as president of the United States. McCain was counted out, and at the time, he was even carrying his own luggage at airports, without any aide or assistant with him. McCain then made a surprise rebound, and Romney, to the disappointment of many of his supporters, bowed out of the race early.
Romney doesn't have to worry about the media, because frankly, all major media networks secretly wanted him, and still want him to be the president. When he speaks, they listen. His main battle that could create problems, as I have mentioned in earlier articles written about Romney, is his healthcare plan. That is where he will be misrepresented by his detractors. Romney has explained that his plan provides a state solution, while Obamacare is based on the federal government takeover of health industry. He will have to address this in the earliest stages of his campaign that way he's time is not consumed by clarifying his healthcare plan, rather, he could spend that time winning over new voters.
The block of voters Romney cannot do without is the Tea Party movement. He has to appear relatable to them and not ignore them, if he expects to win them over. It will be a lot more easy for Romney to win over mainstream Republicans, moderates, independents and perhaps some Democrats, so the effort should be channeled into this unpredictable block I just mentioned. They will lean toward Ron Paul and Sarah Palin, because Ron Paul will indeed run in 2012, since he already has a base that he has built for several years. I believe the work Ron Paul wants to accomplish will be finished by his son Rand Paul, and because the greatest opposition Paul faces is the media, it will be almost impossible for him to overcome that obstacle without spending vast sums of money.
What Gov. Romney will have to do, since it's all common knowledge that he will run, is after he makes the announcement, he needs to thrust himself into the campaign without any reservation. Fred Thompson made a fatal mistake of waiting too long before making an announcement, hoping his absence would cause voters to get fonder of him, instead it had the opposite effect, and was never really able to gain any traction. When voters bond with a candidate, it is hard for them to switch and commit to another. The same analogy can be used with people who buy certain brands like Ford or Chevy. When that person commits to a brand say for example Chevy, it is almost impossible to make the same person switch to a Ford. It is for this very reason that Romney should perhaps be the first candidate to make an announcement, this will give him enough time to clarify any misunderstandings and misrepresentations about his policies and it would facilitate building rapport with potential voters. He can then use the advantage of the his favorablity among the media to expand his voting pool.
As I have mentioned in the Sarah Palin article here, both potential candidates have a mutual respect for each other. While I still haven't ruled Rick Perry out of the picture, if Obama is unable to turn the economy around before the primaries, a Romney-Palin or Palin-Romney ticket would be unbeatable, hands down.
