Yesterday's results in Wisconsin, Maryland and the District of Columbia make it clear that Mitt Romney will be the Republican candidate for the presidency in the November election.
As if confirming this, President Obama mentioned Romney for the first time by name yesterday in his speech attacking the GOP budget proposal. Some time ago, I wrote that the best evidence of Romney's status would be the attacks that would start to come his way from the Obama camp.
Yesterday, Mr. Obama even blamed Mitt Romney for rising gasoline prices in the US...as if President Obama himself weren't in office and had nothing to do with the prices of gas, or with anything else negative, for that matter. Barak Obama often lives in a dream world, and it is worrisome when he is supposed to be the leader of the world that his automatic reaction is to blame someone else for all his shortcomings.
Romney shot back his answers and it seems that now we have the beginning of the 2012 presidential campaign in real time.
What also surprised me yesterday was the relative calm of Mitt Romney and the sharpness of the attack from Obama. We do not need a mindless machine gun in the White House. We need a calm, organized and thoughtful president who understands the problems and has good ideas about how to solve them.
Romney's speech last night in Wisconsin was clear and precise. He laid out his plan for his presidency and he honed in on the errors of the Obama presidency with the precision of a laser beam. He noted the differences between government controlling everything, which has led to the mess the country is in right now, and letting the private sector do its job, which has always worked for America.
Romney has the right instincts. He has the right ideas. He has the calm and composure to get the job done without turning everyone who didn't vote for him into wrecking cranes aimed at his programs.
Mitt Romney is on track to be the next President of the United States.
