TPC in the News
Newsweek's blog, "The Gaggle" asks about Palin's resignation, "will holding office matter in 2012?"
TargetPoint's CEO, Alex Gage, is featured in the piece, discussing how Mitt Romney's political experience played out in last year's presidential primary:
"Alex Gage was Romney's pollster during his 2008 bid for the GOP nod. He says that Romney's time as Massachusetts Governor "never really came up" in their internal polls. Rather, voters responded to Romney's managerial experience as a whole. "He had a deeper resume," Gage says. "Serving as governor was one data point in his wealth of management experience." Gage also thinks that of the possible 2012 contenders, Romney has another ace up his sleeve: He's been there before. Gage says it's hard for candidates who haven't run before to truly appreciate what it takes."
What do you think? How important is the length of a political resume when it comes to highest office in the land?
