Go MITT Go!! Even if you don't get the bronze in SC, you'll still get a tin or a PVC medal. They all count Mittster. Go MITT GO! Win one for the "Y"! And for all you non LDS types out there, it was very, very smart for Mitt to skip South Carolina and maybe Florida and maybe all the rest of the southern states and maybe even California and New York and New Jersey and Illinois and everyplace else they hate us. Go MITT GO! You go guy.....you go straight to the White House.

I am a new comer to these comments and the first time I read them nearly all comments were very negative about Mitt Romney. Wow how things have changed and now people are beginning to see the light and get there facts clear so now they can see the kind of man Mr.Romney really is . Of all the candidates he is a man of integrity and honesty and intelegence that this country has not seen in a long time and he is the kind of man we need to get this country back to the way the Founding Fathers planned for this great country to be. There are a lot of good people in this country that will recognize a man of quality and honesty to be our next President. GO GO GO MISTER ROMNEY

I don't even know where to start. Romney is going after states that he knows he can win in an attempt to make himself a faux front-runner. Wyoming? Pleassseee. Michigan, running on his father's popularity (up until his comments on Vietnam, almost everyone loved him, liberals and conservatives alike). Nevada, strong Mormon base, but overlooked by other candidates because it is not enough to build momentum throughout the rest of the west coast. He can't just nickle and dime electoral votes to get to the 270 that he needs with wins in Michigan, Wyoming, Nevada, Arizona (he'll win there), and of course Utah, followed by second place finishes. His electoral lead It is absolutely necessary that he has some big wins outside of his built-in constituency. Is he capable of doing it? Absolutely. He has shown a great capacity to say whatever he needs to get votes. Will the rest of country buy it? Well, the rest of the country ain't Utah, that's for sure.

This article is an example of poor journalism.

Voters of the Evangelical Faith do not have a stigma against Mormon Candidates. Conservative members of the Republican Party simply do not vote for liberal candidates.

Mitt Romney is a liberal. So is John McCain.

Mike Huckabee is a conservative. So is Fred Thompson.

Ron Paul is a libertarian-leaning Republican and has more bearing among the ranks of us Goldwater Republicans.

To be against Romney's politics doesn't make you an anti-Mormon bigot. It simply means that you are a conservative.

By the way, more Evangelical Conservative Republicans voted for Romney not Huckabee in MI. I also predict that McCain will win SC. He is #1 in the polls and has SC has a large veteran base. If he doesn't win, it might be really close which will divide the evangelical vote in SC between McCain, Huck and Fred. Food for thought.
