Romney: I Can Win on Economy

Politico reports:

The 2012 presidential campaign is going to be all about the economy — right in Mitt Romney's wheelhouse, the former Massachusetts governor told supporters on a conference call Monday.

People ask, Romney said, "'how do we know you're going to win, Mitt? What's it going to take to win?' The answer right now is the America people, more than any other single issue, they care about the economy."

"That is my wheelhouse," Romney said on the public call. "That is what I know and what I do. I've had experience in turning things around that are going in the wrong direction...I will get America on the right track again."

Romney spoke from Las Vegas, where hundreds of his top bundlers, financiers and supporters have descended for a massive call day fundraising drive. Romney has yet to make a formal announcement that he's running — he formed an exploratory committee in April — but his comments from Nevada are the strongest acknowledgment yet that a campaign is inevitable.
