RNC Convention

Listening through Governor Romney's acceptance speech, I tried to hear any references to cities, houses, or infrastructure.  Not deciding about our votes based on one answer, it was simply to try noticing where the larger economic policies result in on-the-ground improvements in the way we live.

Thinking through the speech, the Governor completely avoided any type of concrete examples of his policies.  Most of the things he talked about were very nebulous.  There was very little about putting foundations in the ground or new trains in stations or new phones on systems.

And that may be a hurdle folks will have a hard time connecting between Governor Romney's business prowess and his potential political abilities.  The work he's done in business is one of moving huge investments from one bucket to another.  That is not about jobs or new homes or nicer places to live or better trips to work.

Let's see how the other side does next week.
