why Mitt as Prez would be good for WA

#1 - Mitt is (or was) a big-time business man. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitt_Romney#Business). He knows what makes the economy run, and he knows how to balance a budget. He'd be good for business in WA.

#2 - Romney is a governor. Aren't governors more successful running for President than former senators? Romney is the head of the Republican Governor's Association (see http://www.rga.org/) so he has good connections with leaders in each state.

#3 - Mitt Romney is superb in a crisis. He turned around the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitt_Romney#CEO_of_the_Salt_Lake_Organizing_Committee); he's currently handling the Big Dig problems; and he helped turned around Bain Capital. Chances are Washington State will have a big crisis or two in the next decade. You want someone experienced in crisis management in the White House to help deal with what may come.

#4 - He's big on higher education. http://myclob.pbwiki.com/Education Washington desperately needs to improve in education at all levels - just like every other state.
