Mr. Fix-it

"Mitt Romney is filthy rich, he's handsome, and he's the first honest-to-god businessman to have a real shot at the White House in 40 years."
"He is, after all, the most serious major-party presidential candidate to come out of the business world since ... well, since his father, George Romney, onetime CEO of American Motors, who ran in 1968. Unlike fellow Republican George W. Bush, Romney, 60, can't be accused of being a political heir with some private-sectorish experience. He's the brilliant strategist-dealmaker who founded Bain Capital and built it into one of the largest private-equity firms in the world - and accumulated a personal fortune of around $400 million in the process. He's the turnaround artist who saved the 2002 Winter Olympics. And, as governor of Massachusetts, he's the policy innovator who pushed through some of the most promising health-care-reform legislation in a generation. "

America's Calling

Man, I wish that I was there.................those darn attendance rules at dental school!

Dear Friends, please contribute to the campaign before June 30th and let's show America that Mitt is the man to beat.

Mitt's Money Machine

"He is benefiting from a self-reinforcing cycle: His initial fundraising boom paid for the ads which in turn helped fuel weeks of favorable polling in the closely watched early primary states and led to an enhanced national media profile, leading to more fundraising success. "

We can expect Governor Romney to top his rivals once again at the end of the second quarter. Mitt should easily break the record set by Pres. Bush in 1999.

The Silver State Loves Romney

"(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Mitt Romney is the most popular United States presidential contender for Republican Party supporters in the Silver State, according to a poll by American Research Group. 23 per cent of respondents would vote for the former Massachusetts governor in the 2008 caucus."

Romney Accepts Brownback Apology

PANAMA CITY, Fla.
-- Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said he accepted an apology Monday from GOP rival Sam Brownback for an e-mail disparaging his Mormon religion that a campaign aide sent to Iowa GOP leaders.

Brownback, a Kansas senator, made a telephone call to the former Massachusetts governor, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

"He said that religious attacks don't have any place in politics and, of course, we agree on that," Romney said. "I told him that was not a big matter to me. If I can't
stand the heat I shouldn't be in the kitchen."

McCain Has Broken Ronald Reagan's 11th Commandment......

“Thou shalt not speak ill of a fellow Republican.” It makes it even worse when McCain is lying (conveniently leaving out facts), hypocritical, and disingenuous.

The first link will take you to a post at "Elect Romney in 2008." The second link will take you to a post at "Evangelicals For Mitt".......both are great posts that shed light on this ridiculous situation.

When Desperate Johnny Attacks......

Things can get kind of ridiculous.

McCain goes on the offensive.....again--about abortion.........big surprise!

Romney's campaign wasted no time in responding, with spokesman Kevin Madden sending out an e-mail titled "When Faltering Campaigns Attack!" The e-mail claims Romney's 2005 remarks were taken out of context and said circulating the video was "a last-ditch attempt to maintain relevance" by McCain. "Governor Romney consistently maintained, in an effort to protect the sanctity of life, that he would fight attempts to weaken the state's existing abortion laws," Madden said in a statement. "Maintaining existing laws in a state like Massachusetts was an important fight in and of itself." The campaign added, "the McCain campaign's motives are obviously borne of desperation. Their actions are both sad and unfortunate."

An Unconventional Candidate

"If you've ever thought there's a fly-by-the-seat-of-one's-pants feeling to the Giuliani presidential campaign, you are probably right. None of Giuliani's senior staff--campaign manager Mike DuHaime, senior adviser Tony Carbonetti, political director Mark Campbell, and communications director Katie Levinson--has much experience in presidential politics. An aide says Giuliani is playing catch-up, having made a relatively late entry into the race. Compared with the hyperorganized campaign of former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, Giuliani's is haphazard. Sometimes schedules are handed out just 24 hours before the events in question. Statements from the candidate or senior staff happen on the order of a few a week, not the constant barrage of emails that come from Team Romney."

The picture was created by Josh Ferrin, who happens to be my best friend (even though he's a proud Democrat).

White House 2008 Rankings: The Republicans

"At about the midpoint of the year, a few things are clear -- Fred Thompson will run, John McCain is in trouble, Rudy Giuliani is not invincible and Mitt Romney still has many thresholds to cross."

There's one thing that I didn't like about this article.......Mitt Romney is not a self-funder.

Romney Rejects Long-Term Iraq Occupation

"I think we would hope to turn Iraq security over to their own military and
their own security forces, and if presence in the region is important for us than we have other options that are nearby," Romney said.

We have communicated to the people in the region and the country that we're not looking to have a permanent presence in Iraq and I don't think we want to communicate that we were just kidding about that," he said.

Romney noted that the U.S. has bases in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar, and said: "We can have a presence in the region, but I think that at this time we need to exercise care not to communicate to insurgents something that they can use to say 'Ah ha! America does intend to be an occupier forever!'"

Rudy and McCain Messed up Big With Iowa!

Like I said, I am feeling bullish about Romney of late. He leads our polling averages for both New Hampshire and Iowa. If he wins both of those primaries, and finishes at least in second in Nevada, the whole nation will have a week to sit and stew on these developments before Florida. I have been a skeptic, but there is something about his campaign that both the Giuliani and McCain campaigns seem to lack.
