Before introducing myself, let me say that I’m very honored to be contributing to My Man Mitt. This site has risen to such prominence among Romney–blogs thanks to dedicated and experienced contributors. I am definitely the “Johnny-come-lately” guy here.

I am Devon Murphy, and have been keenly interested in political blogs since stumbling into Iowa’s Best Blog a little over a year ago. You may recognize me by the supremely uncreative user name “murphy”. I currently hail from Silicon Valley, California, with a very special wife and 1 and 7/9ths very active boys. I have worked in the biotech industry since graduating out of a physics program in Ithaca, New York.

I feel that responsible fiscal stewardship and resource management is one of the fundamental pillars of any successful organization, government, or society, and currently one of the most needed. At the same time, we must have a leader who will vigorously reaffirm our American culture and values in this age of loosening morals. And it is absolutely essential that our Commander in Chief recognize the place of America in the world, and the gravity of the threat posed to the civilized nations and peoples of the world by the radical violent faction of Islam.

Governor Mitt Romney is not merely the best choice currently running for President. He embodies those essential qualities in a Chief of State that we only see once in a generation. As a nation, we’re facing tougher challenges now than at any point in our history. Governor Romney has the right vision, principles, and experience to ensure that the American people can rise to the challenges ahead of us, and secure our stability and success in the 21st Century. I am proud to support Mitt Romney for President.
