Romney and The House

Tweet

ROMNEY’S BASE: Mitt Romney is on fire again within the Republican base. As Roll Call’s Jackie Kucinich reports, the CPAC straw poll winner has the inside track with congressional Republicans: “Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has become a regular fixture in Congressional Republican circles in recent months, transitioning from many GOP lawmakers’ top presidential pick in 2008 to their top economic adviser. Romney and his close Congressional allies insist that his Capitol Hill relationships have been struck out of a mutual goal of pushing the GOP’s economic agenda. But Romney’s frequent presence, paired with his remarks in his recent speeches, seem to point to a familiar strategy — one that made him congressional Republicans’ early favorite for the 2008 presidential nomination.”
