Romney resonates well with voters the more they get to know him, his positions and vision for this country. He's the best of the bunch, in my opinion.
The current delegate count today after Nevada and South Carolina is--Romney 72, McCain 38, Huckabee 29, Thompson 8, Paul 6, and Guiliani 2.
Way to go, Mitt! On to the White House!
It's not that I don't like "helmet head", as he refers to himself, it's that I don't know what his position will be next week.
As for the others in the GOP, they chose not to go to Nevada not because they didn't want too... It's because they DONT HAVE THE MONEY! Go to Ron Paul's website on Monday (MLK day) and be astounded at the donations that pour into Ron Paul's campaign. Oh and yes, I work graves...
Utah in a nutshell.
L D S just makes him more the right pick .
But today is a new day, and he flopped in SC. He couldn't even beat Fred! Has anyone actually seen Fred talk? Move? Show life? And Mitt spent a ton of money and time in SC, only to run away.
The GOP knows it. FL will show it. McCain is hot now and looks like a car set to go down hill to the finish line. Romney cannot carry the big states, and McCain can.
So does Mitt get the VP slot? No. You can't get elected pres. of the good old USA and have your ticket from AZ and ... UT? Or is he from Michigan? Or is it Massachusettes? Confused? So is the voting public.
No, running away from SC was awful. He didn't even get the chance to explain why he came in 4th. Didn't get the chance to dance.
If I were in his shoes, I'd fire the idiot who made me run away from the south.
By these numbers you can deduce: one few Nevadians voted increasing the percentage of Mormons and the 27% of Mormons who voted were involved in voting for a candidate based on his faith.
What drove one group of voters out? Was their voting a influenced by a larger organization's influence with a political agenda?
Wasn't it Mormons who were whining about religious tests in voting? Is hypocrisy a Christian value?
Is this the land of religious freedom or of religious bias and bigotry?
When will Americans, even Mormoms, THINK?
The religion issue is clearly the reason that he hasn't gained more traction and I see this as a wake up call to the LDS Church that despite all the repackaging efforts of the last 40 years most people still see Mormons as some kind of 19th century Amish types who have lots of wives and eshew modern society. Nothing could be further from the truth of course, but perception is reality for many people. And there are some things that could be done to mitigate these bad perceptions. Polygamy gets alot of ink in the media (Warren Jeffs, etc.), is there perhaps something concrete that could be done by the LDS Church to help alleviate people's concerns, some changes in our doctrine, scriptures etc. that, though minor in the eternal scheme of things, could help people get over the polygamy thing--that is where most non LDS folks have their problem, I know, I have lots of non LDS relatives who share this view.
Mitt is the man who HAS had a plan since he put up his site months ago! He has not switched it, and he has the honesty and intelligence plus the experience in the business world to run the country. You don't have to have used a gun to shoot at an enemy, or be held a hostage, to see how to win a war!
I wonder if Thompson would make a good vice pres? GO MITT!!
