Romney is the one for the job of American President 2008! Huckabee can have the
role of Baptist Preacher, and McCain can retire.

Romney must believe that Michigan wants Pioneer Day off, crazy liquor laws and
everything closed on Sunday!

Let's examine the candidates leading in the State of Michigan:
John McCain won the Michigan Primary in 1996, only to lose the nomination to the better candidate - Governor George W. Bush - starting with the more conservative primary of South Carolina.
Mitt Romney is the very son of the former Governor of Michigan who attempted to hijack the GOP Primary in 1968. George Romney's politics were so liberal, some conservative Republicans even supported the Dixiecrat candidate, George Wallace, as he ran against the GOP Candidate, Richard Nixon, when George Romney conceded the nomination and endorsed Richard Nixon. Secretary Ezra Taft Benson was one who supported Governor Wallace. Some folks here in Utah may have heard of Ezra Taft Benson. Not sure...
History may beckon the conservative candidate yet again in South Carolina, after a liberal candidate may very well win Michigan. Either way you look at it, John McCain is a liberal, just like he was in 2000, and Mitt Romney is a liberal, just like his pathetic father was in 1968. Come to think of it - didn't George Romney also walk out on Barry Goldwater's convention speech in 1964?
Mike Huckabee will win the GOP ticket.

"Michigan is going to vote for a Romney again," candidate says...but
what happened next shocked everyone. Romney pulled off a rubber mask to reveal
he doesn't just ACT like a robot, he IS one.

Good one "fat lady."
I'm also reminded of the metaphor - Darth Vader.
You know. When they pull his black helmet off all you see is a bunch of creepy machinery inside.

To Anonymous. Why don't you get a job or do you have one and are spending
you work time on the internet?
Chuck | 2:21 p.m. Jan. 15, 2008
At this point, I like Romney. I am real tired of "career politicians"
and the only one that is not one is Mitt.
McCane is far too liberal. look who his buddies are! Kennedy and Finegold.
Huckabee is a lot more liberal than you would think and shows us how stupid he is when he throws out anti mormon garbage.

Well, it is obvious that Ts, Tai H, and "fat lady" do not wear masks.
But maybe they should. What I read in their comments portray individuals who
seem to delight in scoffing, jeering, ridiculing, slamming, and any one of many
terms that describe their caustic, destructive, and disrespectful remarks! Every
presidential candidate running for office in this election are worthy of far
more than the bitter, hateful diatribe written by these individuals.

Romney is a clown.
Everytime I see his plastic pasted-on smile, his rapidly blinking eyes,and the way he talks down to everyone - I want to puke!

No law but due to the fact that mormons go to church for 3+hours, aren't
allowed to work or go where people are working, stores don't see a reason
to be open.
But, nothing better than going to The Gateway on Sunday. Crowds are perfect.

Romney is definetly not what I would call a people person, and he's not as
personable as the other candidates. However, he has the best brain of all the
candidates on either side. The reason education has not been brought up this
election is because Romney is way more advanced than any of the other
candidates.

Since when did Mitt Romney represent Mormonism?
He doesn't. He represents liberalism.

Right of Center Republican | 3:31 p.m. Jan. 15, 2008
Knowing McCain, he will probably choose Romney as his running mate. If McCain
or Romney is on the GOP ticket, I will vote Libertarian and encourage others to
do so. If Republicans want to vote for candidates that are just as liberal as
Obama and Clinton, then I cannot support the Party.
Perhaps a a third-party vote takes away from a GOP victory in November, but we as a Party cannot send a liberal candidate to the White House.

I see lots of accusations here about Romney, McCain, and Huckabee being
"liberal". Could someone please cite specific examples of how each
candidate is liberal?

Ahhh....just a few hours left until we get to watch Mitt Romney go down in
flames. Again.
Watching him lose elections is like family home evening, except I sit back with a glass of wine and laugh real hard.

Blake,
What goes better with watching someone go down in flames, a red or white wine? I would think a red.

doesn't anyone in this country learn about something they don't
understand before they run their mouth anymore? Honestly, maybe you should all
think of something better to do than talk down on someone you know nothing about
other than what the liberal media says. These are three good men, take time to
see what they're stance is on what's important, the issues.
Democrats for Mitt | 5:57 p.m. Jan. 15, 2008
I just heard cross over democrats are voting for Mitt. They think it is best to
vote for Mitt. Only Mitt winning could hurt GPO chances of winning the
presidency.

I don't know about everyone else, but I for one is sick to death hearing
about the "liberal media". Or the way Limbaughites put it - "the
drive-by media."
These people should think about moving to Russia where everything is censored and controlled by the government.

TS What does that stand for? What is holding you in Utah, a big hook??? You
sound like my alcoholic brother in law who wants Utah to be like Nevada. Hope
you don't get liver problems over your love for booze, and trouble with
your kids also. Oh well,
we love you just the same and will continue to put up with you. Try to be nice.

Typical mormon response.. Alcohol is the root of all evil!! Oh no!! I drink
therefore my liver will rot and my kids will turn out to be drunks and
murderers. How can you know so much about something you've never
experienced?
I don't want Utah to be like Nevada but it would be nice to sit down at a restaurant and order a beer without the server demanding my food order.
