ROMNEY FIRST IN WEST VIRGINIA
Governor Mitt Romney came to West Virginia to officially enter the WV GOP Presidential Convention being held February 5, 2008. Governor Romney was joined by Republican Party officials as he signed the certificate of candidacy and paid the $5,000 filing fee. Shown (left to right) is Jim Reed, Republican National Committeeman; Donna Gosney, Republican National Committeewoman; Bob Ashley, Chairman of Governor Romney’s WV Committee; Bob Fish, CEO of WV GOP Presidential Convention, Inc.; and Douglas McKinney, Chairman WV Republican State Party.
If I'm not mistaken, Governor Romney is also the only candidate to commit to attend the conference as well (as opposed to just competing). Speaking personally, I think this demonstrates a commitment to West Virginia that we haven't seen since a certain governor from Texas was running for president, oh, about 8 years ago.
