From WSJ Washington Wire
Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s less-than-stealth positioning to join the 2008 presidential race took another baby step forward today, when two noted economists — former chairmen of the Council of Economic Advisors Glenn Hubbard and Greg Mankiw — signed on to lead his PAC’s Economic Advisory Council. Another former Bush official, Cesar Conda, also signed on.
Thanks to Carrie Conko for the pointer.

Republicans. Where failing upward can get you all the way to the Presidency.
Mankiw should concentrate on econ 101 textbooks and not inflict any more damage on us than he already has.

Mankiw is a brilliant economist who garners respect from both republicans and democrats.
his association with Romney will give him instant credibilty.

Why does the word Republican, by itself, send some people into fits of rage?
Give Mitt Romney a chance. He was a successful businessman who took a big state deficit to a big state surplus. Also, Romney created the only Universal Health Program currently existing in the nation, although only the poor's insurance is funded by the government.

And don't forget the 2002 Olympics.

Hehe, younghov,
I assume that comment was sarcastic...

For both the Olympics and the Mass. Budget issues, Mitt showed up about 2/3 the way into the
solution and took credit for fixing things, like most Republicans. Let me be the first
to predict Mitt doesn't make it to New Hampshire.

Romney ran for governor of Mass on a campaign of using his business management expertise to improve the provision of state government services.
I can not think of a single example where he actually tried to do this.

Matthew, I do not think the word Republican does that to anybody. Actual Republicans who have controlled the US government for the past 6 years, on the other hand are a different story. Perhaps it is a pointless war costing > 1T that make things worse, useless increases in spending, torture, secret prisons, warrantless wiretaps, incompetence, intentionally devisive political strategy, etc.
