Mitt Romney is considered by many in the Republican Party to be the front-runner for the 2012
nomination although his 2008 presidential campaign collapsed after a second-place caucus finish to
Mike Huckabee in Iowa, a state in which Romney had been considered strong.  Romney, a Harvard
graduate and longtime venture capitalist is revered for his financial knowledge.  Many believe that
Mitt Romney is the most qualified candidate to help the now struggling US economy.

The former Massachusetts governor has just announced the March 2 release of his newest book, 'No
Apology: The Case for American Greatness' and will strike out on a 18 state national book tour.  The
tour includes his third trip to Iowa, an early battleground state, since the 2008 election. Romney
will also visit the early GOP primary states of New Hampshire and South Carolina.

The title of the new book refers to what Romney describes as President Obama's pattern of
apologizing for American behavior in speeches abroad, such as his conciliatory speech in Cairo over
the summer to the Muslim world.  Eric Fehrnstrom, a Romney spokesman said, "The book is more than a
critique of the Obama presidency.  The book itself is primarily forward-looking."

It does in fact seem as though Mitt Romney is forward-looking to the 2012 republican nomination.
Mark McKinnon, a former adviser to President Bush and 2008 Republican nominee John McCain stated,
"Romney is playing things very methodically and deliberatively.  I think he understands the physics
of this game very well now and is carefully calibrating his approach to 2012."
