Off and running - the presidential hopefuls

Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Off and running - the presidential hopefuls: "Also hoping to appeal to the middle ground is Governor Mitt Romney of Massachusetts. Mr Romney, a Mormon and the son of a former governor of Michigan and onetime presidential candidate, was the venture capitalist who saved the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics from financial disaster. As a Republican governor of a state with a proudly Democratic tradition, Mr Romney last week signed a law that would make Massachusetts the first state to require universal health insurance. He is against same sex marriage, and he is sufficiently pro-business to allay Republican unease."
