Romney Enters Race
Submitted by Michael Hall
Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has officially entered the presidential race seeking the 2008 Republican nomination. The announcement was made at 9am this morning at the Henry Ford Museum at Dearborn, in his native state of Michigan.
During his speech at the historically famous site, Romney said: “Innovation and transformation have been at the heart of America’s success. If there ever was a time when innovation and transformation were needed in government, it is now.”
He will now begin a four day, six state campaign tour.
The former governor has entered a race that is already highly competitive. Polls show that the early favorites for the republican nomination are Sen. John McCain, and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Romney, however, may face opposition from the large number of Christian-based republican supporters. The former governor is a member of the Church of Latter Day Saints, or more commonly known as the Mormons. The religious groups is viewed by many within the Christian community as non-Christian.
