Mitt Romney, Up Close and Personal

Coes said he is not surprised by that quote, since he describes Romney as

…tough and someone who can take criticism as well as dish it out.  He has a great sense of humor, which many people don’t see. He is one of the funniest guys I have hung out with and does not take himself too seriously. He is a wonderful person. A story that has never been told which exemplifies the type of person he is: The Christmas before he ran for governor a woman from some place in Massachusetts found out his phone number and called him on Christmas Day to tell him how cold she was and that she was without any heat. Mitt and his five sons filled a truck up with wood, drove for two hours, and made the woman a fire, stacking up the leftover wood for her. This shows his heart.

Coes feels Romney would make a good president because he displays  “a take-charge attitude that will enable him to turn around the economy.” He sees Romney as someone who could create jobs through his understanding of the private sector — mainly, that it is not government that creates jobs, but having government get out of the way to allow the private sector to create the jobs.  For him, “Mitt can get rid of those layers of cement that have been stuck on top of the economy.”
