Campaigns & Elections - August 2007 - (Page 45) The Accomplisher chartered plane. Romney set up a command center in their hotel and leveraged his business contacts in New York to help pass out fliers. The bold move got a lot of publicity—which generated a tip that found the girl. If George Bush is the decider, Romney is the accomplisher. It’s a lesson he learned from his father, George Romney, a former three-term governor of Michigan and a onetime Republican presidential candidate. “Don’t run for office just to hold office, run because you have something you want to accomplish,” George told his sons and grandchildren, according to Mitt’s son, Tagg. And Romney has followed this advice. Now, he’s considered a frontrunner in the Republican presidential primary. It is quite a remarkable position, given that Romney has only won a single election in his life. But young Mitt learned about campaigns by living through them. He helped his mother, Lenore, run for Senate in 1970. She won the Republican primary, but lost the general. “I drove a minivan to all 83 counties in Michigan,” Romney recently told Campaigns & Elections. “I learned about campaigning and what I learned is that there is no substitute for retail face-to-face campaigning.” Mitt also helped on all three of his father’s gubernatorial campaigns.
