she was as partisan as any man in congress. because she was a woman she could not hold any official power so dolly could be seen as politically neutral. men of party his interests, as they say, dictated by their political needs. since men were associated with one party or ago, no male, not even the male could represent the united states, but women, excluded from politics could be seen as disinterested, simply patriotic for their own sakes so because she was, in theory, above politics, dolly could appeal to the american public and european observers as a larger than life of disinterested patriotism and the nation. so where as before she was the charismatic figure of james madison, after the war of 1812 she becomes the charismatic figure for the nation and the nation's capitol. she had always brought people together. now her abilities to draw people in had an urgent, larger purpose. her mission was to convey to the capitol and to the country, but the government was working and the war was being conducted well and she presented a

as a blew-collar mayor from a blue-collar city, the problems we faced as a loss of manufacturing jobs were enormous. the people of my city suffered through some very difficult times. they struggled to make ends meet at the same time they were struggling to make sure their kids received a quality education. they understood if their children were to have the opportunities they had, it meant a good education. but mitt romney never understood how to solve the economic problems industrial cities like north adams. he simply ignored them. if he had spoken to the political leaders as well as the business leaders, he would have discovered that our workforce was not being trained for the new jobs that were being created throughout the rest of the country. instead of investing in more workforce development, governor romney cut funding for these programs. instead of investing in job training for the middle class, he was promoting an agenda which would benefit the wealthiest citizens in this commonwealth. governor romney came to the governor's office stating his business experience was to help the

models for our leaders, those leaders of today as well as those leaders of tomorrow. but before i talk about his legacy, i would first like to state as a matter of personal privilege, if you will, a simple but obvious fact. i wouldn't be standing here today were it not for the faith that president ford showed in me when i was his deputy secretary of commerce because at the time my political and public service resume was extremely thin. but president ford saw something i guess more in me than just a texas lawyer with a modest background in regional politics. following the recommendations of rog morton and dick cheney, stu spencer and bob teeter, president ford selected me to take over for his friend jack stiles after stiles had been killed in an automobile accident. stiles, of course, was president ford's delegate hunter in that very spirited 1976 republican primary against ronald reagan and later, of course, after rog became ill with cancer, president ford asked me to chair the president ford committee in the general election against jimmy carter. those of you old eno
