You people are up early. The idea that Mitt would make a good President or VP
because he was a CEO is a wild and dangerous idea. They're the ones who
caused this mess. The idea that ANYONE understands what's going on in our
economy has been torpedoed by the parade of experts claiming to know and all
disagreeing. Romney has exactly zero experience dealing with what is upon us.
Here's what I know: An every man for himself economy can't last. It
can't be saved over the long term, even if it seems to recover for a few
more years. Romney may play it cool and act like it's all so simple, but
the only ones wishing he was chosen are Mormons who can't citizen their way
out of a paper bag and use the same identity politics to choose Romney as our
enemies used to vote against him.

God forbid that Mitt or Sarah, or both are on the Republican ticket next time
around. The country needs leaders not ideologues.
Chuck | 7:51 a.m. Oct. 28, 2008
The best candidate for President in any year from now on would be a reluctant
one. George Washington was the man we needed when this all began, and he
didn't want the job. We need someone with a head on his/her shoulders who
isn't in it for the politics and who isn't seeking position. And
because the system is so politically entrenched, I doubt we'll ever see
that happen.

I've said it more than once and I'll say it again. The Republican
Party blew it big time this year thanks to the mindless evangelicals. The
ticket should have been Romney-Petraeus. This ticket would have won in a cake
walk.
Romney 2012 | 8:21 a.m. Oct. 28, 2008
The Republican Party rewatds loyal runners up with the nomination next time
around.
Mitt is in line to be the nominee (it is true the Hucksteer hung around hoping to get enough delegates to be the #2 guy for just that reason, to be seen as the runner-up heir, but he didn't get the delegates and only annoyed by overstaying his welcome)
Look for Mitt in 2012.

It is true that one can not overstate the loathing evangelicals have for Mormons
(I am lifelong LDS and lifelong resident of BibleBelt) however if Romney gets
the nomination they will hold their noses and vote for him in November.
The trick will be to get the nomination without a ton of evangelical support but Romney is a class candidate and it is entirely do-able.

Whether or not evangelicals like Mormons is actually irrelevant. Mormon's
align with Republicans because the Republican values are much more in line with
the values of most Mormons. The Democrats have made it just about impossible
for most Mormons to be Democrats. This has been going on for a long time and
nothing has changed. In fact, it's probably even worse now.
Assuming Obama is elected, the Republicans will regroup, get their act together and be in a great position to come storming back in 2010 and 2012. The chance for Mitt to get the nomination and be elected in 2012 is excellent and the ONE light I see at the end of this tunnel.
As someone who has spent a lot of time in Washington, I can tell you that the pendulum always swings back and forth. Right now it is swinging in favor of the Democrats. However, at this point they are so far left, they are going to have a tough time governing a center/right country without making everyone pretty unhappy in a very short time.
I hope Mitt can come back and save us in 2012 after Obama has made a total mess of it.

Write in Romney | 8:29 a.m. Oct. 28, 2008
This election is a wash. No matter who is elected, it's going to be bad for
America. I see Obama as the greater of two evils, but I can't quite bring
myself to vote for McCain. So I'm going to vote my conscience and write in
Romney.
If you're tired of picking between two completely ridiculous choices, I encourage you to join me in writing in a candidate that you would feel good about. It's not a wasted vote. If enough people do it, it could start a trend that will be noticed.

To provojoe:
Only Mormons want Romney? If you live in Happy valley you need to get out. I travel all over the country and I hear people of all walks say they wish that Romney was on the ticket. Last Friday I was on my way to JFK and the driver (a 30 year immigrant from Macedonia) brought up the fact that Romney would be the only one qualified to sort out this mess. I'm sure both yobama and mccain with their vast economic experience are highly qualified for this task. Get real. Neither of them has even balanced a checkbook let alone, made a payroll. Unfortunately the country is going down a path (both parties) that will take years to correct.

Where's your memories gone or better-have you just lost your eyesight and
hearing? Who just who would vote for party that has run this country into the
ground in 8 years, and want more of the soam medicine? I just don't get
your Utah republican mentality. And to think you are trying to sell people on
how bad Obama-Biden would be after this mess of the last 8 years-UNBELIEVABLE.

To provojoe - Yes, many executives caused the problems that have now beset our
economy, but to put Romney in class with them is ridiculous.
They weren't the only ones who got us into this mess. The greed of Wall Street was matched by the greed of "Main Street." In 1999, Clinton and his cronies strong-armed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to allow subprime lending. They lowered the regulations that were in place so that more people could own houses. That in itself isn't bad, but when a person can report welfare and foodstamps as income that props up the system with no real backup. Yes, Bush didn't reregulate the Banks and Lenders, but when millions of people mortgaged themselves into houses they couldn't afford it was only a matter of time. I don't feel sorry for the companies that went out of business nor those that have lost their houses due to greed. Some families have simply hit hard times, which is regrettable, but to make working, prudent, patient Americans pay for the mistakes of their nonworking, impatient, greedy peers is ludicrous.

Milo P. Otis | 9:05 a.m. Oct. 28, 2008
Yes, I'm L.D.S. and would vote for Romney next time around. I'm also
a registered Democrat and have already voted via mail: Obama, but not straight
ticket. Judges: Toss 'em. Let them get back into the private sector and
work for a living. I'm not into career politicians. Serve, then "go
back to the farm" and serve in another capacity, but serve. I believe in
term limits, but it will never happen other than that of the office of President
of the United States.
McCain has made his choice: Palin and she will bring him down, if HE hasn't already on his own. We are not winning in Iraq. Any time we've lost one of our own, we're not winning. The �serge� � "It's working." That's nice. We shouldn�t be there. L.B. J. lied to us; so has Bush. We shouldn�t be there, period.
McCain has served his country, so have many others. I've lost a very good friend to alcoholism due to the Viet Nam war. This was a very useless, we were lied to war. L.B.J.'s biggest downfall. Will we ever learn form history? No.

John McCain has as good a chance as Mitt Romney in 2008. So I'm going to
write in Mitt Romney, the better candidate of the three!
re; Mormon from a dumb state | 9:31 a.m. Oct. 28, 2008
Do you know what educated idiot means? I'd like to see Obama's
college transcripts. I'd like to see his academic merits. But I
won't because he obviously has something to hide or he would release his
prestigious credentials. He is hiding a lot of things that we will never know
because he ISN'T transparent and he ISN'T forthcoming. But I am
excited for the country to get him as their president. I am excited because
"smart people" from "smart states" only learn from the
consequences of their "smart decisions" and that is the only thing I
am sure about in this whole political process. "Smart people" from
"smart states" are proving that they are really just full of their own
education ego and so let them have Obama. Let them have his policies, his
judges, and his character and then you will see what it is like when the
"dog chases the car and then catches it!" Most Obama supporters are
making an emotional decision or an anti-Bush decision but neither of these make
Obama a better leader or more qualified and they don't make his ideas
valid. Obama isn't standing on his own merits, he is riding emotion!

AKRM | 10:28 a.m. Oct. 28, 2008
The Penecostals that attend the Assembly of God churches will never vote for a
Mormon. I have done the polling by knocking on a lot of doors in Wasilla and
Juneau (Palin's congregations). They really do despise Mormons. Members of
these congregations would even sabotage our discussions.
Even though Mitt will try to pander for their votes, he will not get their support. I offered to shovel snow, cut wood, pull weeds, but nothing would get them to like or listen to me.
He would have more of a chance by switching parties and running under a similar platform that got him elected in Massachusetts.
Would Mormons vote for him then?

Wow, that article outlined every reason why I can't stand Romney.
Not that it matters; he continues to only be relevant in Utah.

If you reddest of the red states keep wanting to vote for Republicans, fine.
That is your free agency. Just remember that army of Southern Baptist youth
that went knocking on doors. They are voting age now and are or will be parents
soon teaching the same hatred of Mormons and perpetuating lies. Why do you
think Romney had to give his religion speech? SO keep voting for the
Republicans that hate you. Just don't deny it.

Mitt - get a job | 11:46 a.m. Oct. 28, 2008
Mitt is going to look even more sad in 4 years if all he can say he did since
the last election is do some political fund raising.
I would recommend he get off the campaign trail and find a job - maybe head up a cabinet or a UN position. Or how about heading up the Red Cross or a similarly respected organization?

Lonnie | 11:48 a.m. Oct. 28, 2008
You people who think that term limits is the answer to our problems are kidding
yourselves. Our founders provided term limits for us. Its called an informed
electorate and voting. We could vote out 435 members of the house every two
years if needed. We could change 1/3 of the senate every two years if necessary.
The problem is being informed and electing good, honest, men or women of
integrity. It doesn't matter how often we vote if we keep putting the same
kind of people in there. How can we get this nation back on track if we continue
to elect people like: Harry Reid, Nancy Polosi, Ted Stevens, Mark Foley (gone),
Barney Frank etc. If Obama is elected inspite of his socialist agenda and past
associations with the likes of Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko, Rashid
Khalidi, Louis Farrakhan, it will be the biggest hoax/fraud ever perpetrated on
the American people in our history.
I Like Mitt | 11:49 a.m. Oct. 28, 2008
I don't agree with the idea that Mitt couldn't win the south.
Especially if he runs against Obama in 2012.
I've lived outside of Utah for the past 19 years and the hype about the "Mormon-hating Christians" is wildly exaggerated on this board. A SMALL handful of misguided evangelicals use the nursery-school logic that "Mormons aren't Christians" because we believe Satan, like all of us, is a child of God who fell from grace or that we don't accept the Nicean Creed, which not even the evangelicals (or Catholics for that matter) can explain - much less defend with scripture.
There is no doubt in my mind that if he won the nomination, Mitt would carry the South and could win the election.
Romney vs Obama in 2012 is very reminiscent of Reagan vs Carter in 1980.
I'm thinking landslide for Mitt.

The hate-spewing tv/radio Evangelists, along with Jessie Jackson, Allen
Sharpton, Rev. wright and groups i.e. LULAC, have their own agenda (CONTROL)over
their 'flocks'( think sheep).
Without this control, they would be out of a high paying job and luxurious lifestyle.
Because of several Interfaith Council efforts,we are beginning to see a wave of cohesiveness amongst the various religious/ethnic groups, wherin they do support Mitt Romney, because of his excellent moral/family values, in addition to his superior leadership qualities and excellent knowledge of economics and business experience, along with his ability to communicate with international representatives.
Fortunately, many people of other faiths and groups are starting to think for themselves now, and would support Mitt Romney.

I am LDS and I will guarantee that Mitt will have a problem getting elected
because he is LDS. Don't waste our time speculating about it. Liberals
& Evangelicals share one value, hatered of Mormoms. The Republican Party put
their most electable ticket together with McCain and Palin, and it may still not
enough. The media has blamed Bush so much that it was immpossible to overcome.
McCain and Palin are the most electable, and I will tell you why. McCain can
actually get the center vote and the Republican base is not offended enough to
vote for Obama. McCain also gets the older generation because of his war
experience and his age. Palin is a women, religious and is not bad looking. So
she brings in women lib types, men who think she is hot, and almost everyone who
believes in conservative values and christian values. On the economy,
American's have not heard a plan from either side that gives them any
confidence. Obama will most likely win because American's are hoping that
it was just all Bush's fault and everything we get better when he is out.
Most American's are as dumb as they think we are.

All you Mormons complaining about the Christian Right have me laughing. Look at
the results from two Bible belt states. In Georgia Huck got 34% McCain 32 % and
Mitt got 30 percent. 41,37, and 17 percent respectivly in Alabama. Now look
at Utah. Mitt got 90 percent. Guess that means a close to 3 or 4 way split is
hate from the Christian Right but voting 90 percent for Mitt because he is
Mormon is ok. It proves what I have known for the 22 years I have lived here.
Utah is definitly another planet where logic does not apply.
charlie | 1:39 p.m. Oct. 28, 2008

This country went through some tough times in the late seventies and it seems that we have forgotten that history. If we believe the BS put out by the media and certain other professional brainwashers we conservatives will give up and give in to the radical slobs who stand with the socialist Dumb-o-crats. Everyone who cares anything about America and Christian values should support McCain/Palin and don't become discouraged. They can win but only if we vote for them. The people who would support Obama, if they stay away from the poles will be helping this become a better country. Think about it!"

another blessing for Democrats | 2:24 p.m. Oct. 28, 2008
As for "Palin 2012," that development would just be the latest in a
long list of blessings for the Democratic Party since early 2005, when
Bush's Social Security privatization scheme collapsed, starting a downward
spiral that led the Republican Party, among other dead-end paths, toward Juneau,
Alaska. So, to that prospect, I say: Run, Sarah, Run!

SLMG | 3:07 p.m. Oct. 28, 2008
If the good people of Utah think that in 2012 Mitt Romney or Sarah Palin will be
the candidates for president they are in for a big shock. Hopefully the
Republican party can find someone to run that could actually win. Why would
Mitt Romney put himself through the same pain again, he will still be a Mormon
and the attitude of the country will not of changed in that regard, he still
would not have a chance to win the nomination. As for Sarah Palin, heaven
forbid that this woman that acts like a teenage cheer leader with raging
hormones should even be considered a candidate is beyond belief. There are so
many more dignified and better qualified Republican women that would make
excellent candidates for the office of president, choose one of them.
Where does this "the Republican party hates Mormons" or "the Democarts hate Mormons" depending what side of the fence you are on come from? Niether party hates Mormons, they only want your votes they do not care what your religion is. Wake up Utah, vote for the person not the party and you wonder why you are called sheep by the rest of the country.

Rich | 3:18 p.m. Oct. 28, 2008
I believe government is too big, that both the Republicans and the Democrats are
spending too much money, and that we must maintain a strong national defense
while protecting our individual Constitutional rights, such as the right to own
and bear arms, the right to free speech, the right to practice our religion,
etc. I'm not a Democrat because that party won't protect a
baby's right to life, constantly talks about further restricting gun
rights, criticizes Christians and others who maintain traditional family values,
defends candidates who are weak-kneed when it comes to using force when
necessary to protect human rights and our national defense, and can't
understand that raising taxes on corporations and the wealthy means less money
in the economy to go around. For the most part Romney reflects my values. He
is intelligent, economically well-educated, well-spoken and possesses executive
experience. I think he would be an outstanding President or Vice-President.
McCain should have selected him instead of Palin, but I also think she would be
a good Vice-President or President because she is not afraid to wield her power
to favor the citizens over Big Government. I truly hope that McCain/Palin comes
out ahead.
Jerry W | 3:24 p.m. Oct. 28, 2008
I think the problem with present candidates and those who have run for the past
few decades is that they have no experience in running a business. Being
involved in business you have to face the cold hard realities of what makes the
economy run and your business successful. The current candidates have all had
monthly checks coming in with little understanding as to how the process of
developing wealth happens. Mitt Romney is the only one who has had to bite the
bullet and has been very successful at doing this. Hopefully America will wake
up to this in the near future or I am not sure what kind of a future we will
have.

Mitt Romney is a fraud and the LDS people are sheep for loving him so much based

How come republicans like war which is destruction of life???
Mr. Romney is the right choice for Vice president.
The republican party selected an unprepared politician fo VP.
Most of the wealthy mormons that I relate with, are very good religious people but they lack universal conciousness.
They think that they are the only tenants of this planet and that they have a monopoly of the truth.
have a good day Merry Krisna & Happy New Year
I will vote for senator Barrack Obama.
Because the republican administration of G. Bush is a disgrace.
Bush's administaration are liars.
There were no weapons of wass destruction in Iraq.
Iraq had no link to Sept 11th.
If you are mormon, republican & prolife.

PLEASE - we haven't even got this election over and we have to start
hashing out 2012! I'm sick of politicians and what they have done to this
country. There is going to have to be some major changes in ethics and morality
to find an honest person to run for either party in 2012.

If you are replying to Real political thought. You are exactley right. We are as
dumb as they think we are. Obama is counting on it. Scary but true. We have no
idea what he is going to do as President, because he is just counting on the
everybody hates George Bush factor, and it is working. That is scary!

I too believe Mitt is a good man, but remember he was born with a golden spoon
in his mouth. It's alot easier to succeed when you have enormous wealth
behind you, and a family to guide you. Just look at the big shakers in the world
today and their roots. It's a very small percentage of these people that
done it by themselves. I'm not sure that Mitt really knows what the
majority of us live like or cares is my concern with him, but he definetly knows
about being priveleged. Big business doesn't drive this country-the people
that work for these businesses do. Don't EVER forget that NO business is
any better than it's employees.
