Romney stresses business credentials, not time in govt

December 13, 2007 By O. Kay Henderson

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney stressed his record in business rather than in government during a campaign stop in Bettendorf on Thursday. Romney, who served one term as governor of Massachusetts, sought to distinguish himself from what he termed the "life-long politicians" in the race.

"If you want somebody who spent a life in the private sector, that understands why jobs come and why they go, how you make businesses healthier and how they get sicker — then you’ll want to have somebody like me in the White House representing this party," Romney said during a town hall meeting. About 200 people gathered inside small storefront in Bettendorf to hear Romney speak.

During a question-and-answer session with reporters, Romney took aim at rival Mike Huckabee on several fronts but did not criticize Huckabee directly during his appearance in front of voters.
