Team Romney: Walk like a man

The hit musical “Jersey Boys” is currently playing in Washington. If you haven’t seen it, check it out. It’s a great show depicting the rough-and-tumble life of Frankie Valli — frontman for the Four Seasons beginning in 1960.

Early in the group’s career, 1963 to be exact, Valli released his third of several No. 1 chart toppers — “Walk Like a Man.”

That should be the theme song of the Romney campaign. Candidate Romney is doing all the right things, and getting not enough credit for it.

He ran a tight operation in Florida after a resounding defeat in South Carolina — with the ground game and institutional backing of key figures to secure the first-place finish. And while we’re at it, folks, Romney won the Florida caucuses by a landslide. It wasn't a race when the final ballots were tallied. Gingrich was a distant second. Yes, and Ron Paul had a mere 3 percent ...

Romney going forward must now convince the base that he's a true conservative, which might be difficult in light of many of the statements he has made in the past and many of his actions as governor of Massachusetts. He must now focus on the fact that that was the past and he has moved forward. He must continue to articulate the reasons he has changed. If he's able to do this he will be quite successful. He has certainly demonstrated that he can put fire in his speeches and not be a dull Wall Street-type orator.

So Gov. Romney should keep on doing what he’s doing. Take some “Jersey Boys” advice and walk like a man. Act as if he owns this nomination, then go out there and show his fellow Republicans he’s the man for this job.
