Mitt is in good company with Jason....hope his conservative nature rubs off on Mitt as he moves forward to save the country.

Jason just lost my support. Ron Paul is the man.

Chaffetz is hoping for a presidential appointment if Romney is elected.

If Chaffetz backs Romney, that's one more reason not to vote for Romney. Neither of them is good for the country; together they would be a disaster looking for a place to happen. NO, THANKS!

Typical republican turncoat. The man that gave him his start in the rotten mess of politics(Huntsman) is hung out to dry, because smiling boy Chaffetz thinks Romney potentialy has a chance for the top office and will stroke him with a promotion. This is nothing more than politics as it is "ROTTEN"!
All of this constant blame put on Obama for tanking this economy is a joke. Where oh where would we all be now if McDuff & Palin would have been elected and inheirited the Bush-Cheney mess of 8 years? Blame, blame, blame and now the very party that put this country in the ditch is going to be the savior of their parties own corruptness? Unbelievable and nothing but lies and deciet. Do you citizens want to trust what the candidates for the top office on the republican ticket are blowing daily after where their party dumped us last time? Get serious and reflect please.

I am not sure that Governor Romney asked for Representative Chaffetz to show up. It is a liability for the Governor if he didn't invite him. Tea Party can be a decisive vote but they haven't been highlighting their group in Iowa as the evangelicals are not necessarily all Tea Party people. Ron Paul is so far-right conservative that he has gone to the left liberal side in the full circle, in some things. There are 1000s of items to consider in the spectrum that one item isn't a tipper to the other side. However, with a campaign so long and especially in Iowa type of system, that is why people haven't made up their minds until tonight. People have their small groups and don't want to be necessarily be influenced by outside people, since their caucus is limited on who can influence their individual caucus. Maybe the Tea Party Chaffetz people will make their show tonight making it similar to the Utah process that defeated Senator Bennett in 2010 before he even got going. Politics makes strange bed fellows and this is the start of the rest of the year and the political conventions this summer.

Why not give us all a break and grab some reality. Jon Jr. has no hope whatsoever. Plus what does he offer anyhow?

Mitt bears quite the resemblance to Stan Smith of American Dad that must mean JC is Roger? Right?

Chaffetz is just looking for a cabinet position. His cot is getting uncomfortable.
