WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 (UPI) -- Mitt Romney said Sunday he is confident he will beat John McCain in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
Appearing on "Fox News Sunday," the former Massachusetts governor said his economic experiences should allow him to beat senator from Arizona and his Washington resume when it comes to capturing the Republican presidential nomination.
"If they want somebody instead who's been in the real economy over the last 25, 30 years, who understands why jobs come and why they go, and understands what it takes to grow an economy, then I think I'll be their person," Romney said of U.S. voters.
Romney also said his lack of experience in Washington was actually a positive as it would take an outsider to facilitate change in the federal government.
"And I just don't think that somebody who has spent their life inside Washington, that has lobbyists on every elbow, that's been chairman of one committee or another and has all those connections, all the favors that are owed and are -- owed in return, all of the scores to settle, I just don't think that's going to get Washington fixed," the former governor said.
