Silly me, I worry about questions like this. Here’s the answer, from Barrons:
REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE MITT ROMNEY strikes some voters as just too slick, and his adherence to Mormonism has hurt him in the polls. Democrat Bill Richardson, the garrulous governor of New Mexico, has bloviated himself from near the front of his party’s field to the back. Yet Romney would be the best Republican candidate for stocks, bonds and the economy, and Richardson, hands down, would be the best Democrat.
Those are among the findings of a Barron’s analysis of the nine major candidates from the two parties. We based our judgments on the candidates’ responses to a detailed questionnaire on taxes, spending, health care, energy and other issues. We also considered their records as governors, senators and holders of other offices. Romney, formerly governor of Massachusetts and once a top private-equity investor, garnered 3.8 points out of a possible 4, edging out Republican rival Rudolph Giuliani, with 3.7. John McCain was third, with 3.5. a On the Democratic side, Richardson scored a 3.0, handily topping the field. Perhaps surprisingly, Barack Obama, finished second, with 2.0. Despite his strong support from the party’s traditional base, he displayed more free-market thinking than Hillary Clinton, who scored 1.8. He showed a healthy skepticism for big government in his approaches to both health care and energy.
If you don’t like to read a bunch of words – and who does – check out this really handy dandy graph. Really, if you are wondering just who to support for President, CHECK OUT THIS GRAPH. Now. Go see it. Here’s the link again. Did you see it? No. Well, you should.
I think Barron’s is exactly right. Mitt Romney’s the best for the economy. His efforts in the Salt Lake City Olympics, Bain & Co., and the state of Massachusetts speak for themselves. He knows how to make wise economic decisions and he’s proved himself time and time again.
This did not help me at all. I have some homework and i need 4 reasons why a certian candidate should be president. And those reasons need to be EXPLAINED.
