Romney pulls ads in South Carolina, Florida

He's figured out that his hefty bankrolling of negative TV ads has been a dismal failure.
Or maybe God told him that what he was doing wasn't the right thing to do.
This article says "A campagne that badly needs a win"
Hey, he did win Montana. They give him credit where credit is due begrudgingly in the last paragraph.
We all know that many people only read the headlines, or beginning sentences because of time constrants. UNFAIR!
Will Mitt be returning donor money from his own pocket, if he doesn't become the Republican nominee? What do contributors get if he DOES become the nominee?
It's the hate Mormonism syndrome. The world is full of haters. Mormon haters are of the more viral strain.
This guy sells snakes.......
Montana hasn't happened yet. And to answer your question about why the news media is SO NEGATIVE toward Romney? It's because he's a phony. Does that help?
I do not know what the polls show. But Mitt is a local boy, ok rich local boy, with a famous name, has oddles of money, and looks good in a blue sweater! Probably has a lot of business buddies...Yee gads... what is there to worry about?
Oh, McCain. McCain is the Sal Maglie of politics. (for you old baseball afficiandos I threw that in) He will throw hard and inside, he will brush Mitt back, he will knock him down and declare innocence, he will look innocent at all times... in short he is a pro at this. So Mitt should be worried. McCain will call in the military veterans, the old GOP guard, the dyed in the wool repubs. The country clubbers. Mitt should be worried sick.
Don't be surprised if Mitt suddenly declares that McCain threw one inside and close to the chin. That was why Sal Maglie was called ---- "the barber." Good luck Mitt.
Your country might cease to be the laughing stock of the world if he was President.
The evangelical anti-mormon hate machine will run out of money before Romney does.
Obama..does anybody know what his positions are, other than "Change." I simply can't believe that a candidate will go this far because he's a nice guy.
I wish that the talk radio people will run the next debate. We cannot allow a candidate to simply stroll down the path without tough questions..unbelievable.
Both have some degree of charisma, a relaxed temperament, nice smile.
While one was a philanderer
The other is a panderer.
America deserves better than that.
And one last thing, this is a good wake-up call for Mormons living in Utah, the REDDEST of all the states, to truly find out how intolerant the Republican Party is.
I concede that I stated the wrong state....He won in
Wyoming, instead of Montana....but the idea remains the same...he did win a state.
Is this what is called "flip flopping?"
If it is, I will take a flip flopper that has the talents, record and integrity of Mitt.
With an uncontested background like his, NO ONE can call him a phony.
I agree with "An Australian Observer"
He's go my vote. I've done my research deeper than what the media calls his "flip-flopping"
Yet their are many who prefer to distance themselves because he has moral character and follows a faith that strives to teach nothing but good.
McCain is an angry old liberal man who will diffentely not win the nomination. Huchabee wants you to think he is this angel but really a devil in disquise and also a liberal. I for one... am done with the Republican Party if this is all we have to offer. I will not be voting in the general election for anyone other then Romney.
Let's see.....hom many electoral votes does Romeny have??????? More than the others!!! Don't count him out just yet.
GOOOOOOOO Mitt
People hate his politics because he is a liberal and because he is dishonest.
Leave the Church out of it. There are some Mormons, like myself, who simply find Mitt Romney to be too liberal.
I will vote for Mike Huckabee because I am a Bruce R. McConkie Mormon and a Barry Morris Goldwater Republican.
And on Sunday Belives in people that had one LEGAL wife and 10 on the side - Family values
not participate in personal attacks for political gain; his so called negative ads are merely a comparison of FACTS nothing more;
Depends on how you see things
he has a proven track record of running large organizations; is fically responsible;
Send my Money and my Clients money to
offshore accounts.NO USA TAXES
has strong immigration policy views
Hire them to work in MY yard
But now I got caught I have to be tough
May we find the best nominee or we will be left with something other than the best.
There has to be a better, more genuine LDS to run from president. Romney should drop out after Michigan and go back to selling.
candidate in Gerald Ford. North Carolina chose Ronald Reagan. Ford like McCain and Huckabee was a bit too liberal and the people put in a "Populist" Jimmy Carter. This was the worst man to ever hold the office of President.
In 1980 and 1984 Ronald Reagan was the best candidate and he won. In 1988 George H.W. Bush was a weak candidate and he won. The next elections were lost the Ross Perot/Bill Clinton confederation.
In 2000 and 2004 George W. Bush was the best candidate and he has been a great President. Now we have several choices, some are liberal, some quasiliberal, some media darlings, and one accomplished, bright, good, decent conservative man.
Watch SC give Mitt a win or at least a second because he is simply the best candidate on either side. May God bless America with a leader, "Mitt Romney".
Sometimes it sounds like we are voting for GOd not a President of the USA
1. Mitt Romney sell snakes. Such a business operation does not appear on his bio.
2. Mitt Romney deserves to be called a flip-flopper. Only the arrogant and the foolish refuse to change their minds after gaining more information.
3. There is something wrong with coming in second in a rather large field of candidates. Most states do not require all their delegates to vote for #1 at the convention.
4. The early primaries determine the party candidate.
5. Intellectuals read the Deseret News and provide valuable comment on published articles.
He played to the ultra-fundamentalists. They do not like the LDS faith. He can never get those people back from Huckabee.
Keep in mind that the great 'Varmint hunter' is representing the LDS church on a national level. Missionaries can never match that.
I live in Massachusetts, I know all too well how phony Mitt Romney is. And our neighbors in New Hampshire know it too.
Or do you like Mitt only because he's LDS?
Look folks, I think the LDS church is based on lies and story telling, but I still think Mitt is the best candidate for the job. I was against him at first and bought into the flip flopping nonsense, but the truth is, he used to support abortion, realized he was wrong and changed his stance. Admitting a mistake is not flip flopping. A flip flopper changes his tune depending on the audience. Mitt has not done that.
If you can watch a replay of the forum done by Fox News last Sunday with the top 5 candidates, you will be impressed with Mitt. That forum alone changed my views and he now has my vote.
Keep religion out of this. Religion was not a factor in MA where Mitt did a great job. Anyone that really lives there should know that.
