Overseeing the Big Dig debacle may not be his best calling card. Here's what political pundits, bloggers and reporters are saying about his actions and his chances:

Mitt Romney: The Man, His Values and His Vision
By: Lisa Ray Turner
List Price: $10.95
Amazon Price: $5.98

Product Description
There aren t too many people who have earned simultaneous Juris Doctor and MBA degrees from Harvard. Mitt Romney is one of them. But he has always liked the toughest challenges. He first made a name for himself as the brilliant turnaround miracle worker from Bain Capital. And he's the one who turned the debt-ridden, scandal-plagued 2002 Olympics into a marvelous success.

Now he is campaigning to be our next president. He is a staunch advocate of free market economics and a devoted husband and father who believes in traditional values. Can he win? Will voters give him the chance to apply his management proficiency to our federal government?

Authors Lisa Ray Turner and Kimberly Field examine Mitt Romney as a man of incredible ability and driving energy. They examine his history, his policies, his alleged flip-flopping, and particularly the controversy surrounding his religion. As a team, they offer a unique perspective on this last issue: Lisa is LDS (Mormon), and Kim is an evangelical Christian. You ll find their insights fascinating.

Book Description
The Book of Mormon is one of the sacred texts of the Latter Day Saint movement. It is regarded by Latter Day Saints as divinely revealed and is named after the prophet–historian Mormon who, according to the text, compiled most of the book. It was published by the founder of the LDS movement, Joseph Smith, Jr., in March 1830 in Palmyra, New York, USA.

Product Description
From old-time flipflop skis to modern-day snowboards, from miners to Olympians, from Park City to Snowbasin-Alan Engen and Gregory Thompson capture the rich legacy of skiing in Utah's indomitable Wasatch Mountain Range through upbeat informative text and fascinating vintage and recent photographs. "Winter sport had reached the masses, and tiny mom-and-pop ski areas sprouted alongside the major resorts of the Wasatch Front. The fervor of the early pioneers-the miners, Alf Engen, the Rasmussen brothers-spread to thousands of Utahns, who began promoting their home as the 'King of Winter Sports.' The craze for skiing had matured into a deep-rooted respect for the canyons, ridgelines, and fields that harbor alpine and cross-country skiers alike, bringing people together in recreation and competition. Why shouldn't the world share such a magnificent place?" Mitt Romney President and CEO Salt Lake Organizing Committee Olympic Winter Games of 2002 Alan K. Engen is the author of the award-winning book For the Love of Skiing: A Visual History. He is also the chairman and president of the Alf Engen Ski Museum Foundation, chairman and president of the Alta Historical Society, board member of the International Skiing History Association. Currently, he is the Director of Skiing at Alta, Utah, and has been affiliated with the Professional Ski Instructors of America (PSIA) for more than forty years. He lives in Salt Lake City. Gregory C. Thompson, Ph.D., is the Assistant Director for the University of Utah's J. Willard Marriott Library Special Collections and an adjunct assistant professor of history. In the 1980s, he cofounded the Marriott Library's Utah Ski Archives Program. He lives in Salt Lake City. A search is underway for the names of ski jumpers who competed on Ecker Hill, in Park City, from the time the jumps were constructed in 1929 until the last competition on the hill in 1964. The names will be included in a new bronze monument commemorating the role of Ecker Hill in American skiing history. Please visit the Ecker Hill Jumpers Memorial Page if know of a jumper that should be included.

CUSTOMER REVIEW:
Facts not feelings
Rocky Hulse has written an exellent book documenting the tremendous influence the LDS church wields over it's menbers. The information in When Salt Lake City Calls is taken from Mormon sources and the references I looked up were entirely accurate and in context. This book is not bigotry or based on a feeling the author may have had, it is based on an objective look at the statements made in Mormon documents. Based on the facts the conclusion the author draws is a no brainer.

• Two more PAC?s to follow
There?s just something about the campaign finance stuff that draws in groups of all political stripes. Being one who thinks in a conservative frame of mind, I?d prefer to see those who are for government being smaller and returning to its proper Constitutional role. So I?m pleased to help announce a couple new political action committees are gearing up for the 2008 campaign, although one of them comes from someone returning to the fray after an absence of several months.

By Sean Reagan What a year for political campaign watchers. We had a historic nail biter of a Democratic primary that resulted in unprecedented numbers of newly registered voters. We have a Democratic candidate for President making a credible play for parts of the electoral map traditionally closed to his party. And regardless of who wins the election, we?re going to witness an historic White House first come January ? either an African-American President or a female Vice-President. That? • Republican National Convention - Day 5 (Part Two)
(Part One of Day 5 was written previously and provided an account of Wednesday morning's breakfast through a late afternoon reception with Senator Corker and Senator Alexander. This post picks up from that point to the conclusion of Day 5.) I spent much of the early parts of the Wednesday session roaming the Xcel Center.

Fake right, drive left, slam dunk for an exclamation point. That was the move that was going to put the game out of reach as the clock ran out. Instead, it was as if the air ran out of Barry O's basketball. He started his dribble but when the ball hit the floor, the bounce just wasn't what he expected. The ball deflected off his fingers, and the next thing anybody knew it was a fast break the other way. Series tied.
