Romney for Chairman?Mitt Romney will get his domestic vision from a committee. Former Missouri Sen. Jim Talent will “oversee all domestic policy development for Romney’s campaign.” What? We don’t get Mitt’s vision? The same AP compilation quotes Romney on healthcare: “I can’t guarantee my state will get it right every single step, but one state out there is going to get it right, and when we see it’s working in one of the states, we’ll be able to adopt it nationally.” I was OK with the first half of this statement suggesting that many states trying different approaches would yield a good result. But then, “we’ll be able to adopt it nationally??” What ever happened to “the government that governs best, governs least?” The practical art of governance may include committees out the wazoo, and consensus to the lowest common denominator, but I want a candidate to share HIS view, not a committee’s. And the United States is not just a mega-Massachusetts to be governed with a similar approach, just a bigger scale. I don’t hear any of the “frontrunners” talking about the traditional conservative view of restrained governance. I’m feeling pretty lonely on this issue.
