The Romney Pre-Show
Bedford, NH
Governor Romney held one of his last rallies here before primary day. The excited crowd of close to seven hundred was one of his biggest and most enthusiastic to date. His stump was tweaked and he even gave the audience some insight into his non-stop energy saying, “There’s an old family saying that if a Romney drowns in a river, look upstream for the body.”
The crowd might not have expected it, but the highlight of the evening took place before the presidential hopeful even took the stage. Senior advisor to the campaign Tom Rath got the crowd energized for the governor with a special rendition of campaign and Red Sox favorite, Neil Diamond’s Sweet Caroline:
done
Confused? Let Campaign Carl explain exactly what is going on:

Romney starts visiting polling locations early tomorrow morning–trying to shake as many hands as possible scrambling for those final votes in this first in the nation primary.

“Come on big finish” is right! I’m sad to have missed the last bit of Sweet Caroline, but here’s hoping for the best possible outcome in the NH Primaries. America needs a guy like Romney
Oh but I might add, Romney did already win the first primary.. In wyoming.
I am pulling for Mitt, a good solid decent guy and our best hope to defeat the Democrats. Unlike McCain who regardless of what the polls say now, will get blown out by the Democrats. To many of us remember the last eigth years and his constant ankle biting of the President and undermining of Conservative causes ie;immigration issues& judicial appointments.
It is very suspect that no one is talking about the fact that Romney won Wyoming in a landslide.
So much fun! Carl has such a great sense of humor. OMG, did you see David Gregory back there being too cool for Neil Diamond? What a tool.
Go Mitt Romney! A President for conservative causes. Good Luck, today. A conservative from Alabama.
Good luck mitt we are pulling for you is Ga! Despite fair unmedia coverage, you have a solid chance!
Mitt Romney has the most delegates to date. He clearly won Fox news debate this past Sunday. He has been sucessful in the business arena, and in Government. He stands firm on the family, a strong economy, and the need for a stronger miliary! You want real change? NH vote for Mitt Romney! He is the only one that can beat Obama in November. Romney isn’t going anywhere as much as many of the old bloods in the Republican party might wish it. Mitt Romney will get the nomination! He can fix our broken Washignton system. He has my vote, because he truly is the person that can bring change to our nation! VOTE Mitt Romney!!!!
Romney has the money, he is leading in the delegate count, he is polling well nationally, is placing well in every state, and will soon be the Republican nominee. Go Mitt!
If you like the way things are in Washington but just move that chair over there, then vote for John McCain. Doesn’t like what you saw in Washington? Vote Mitt Romney!!!!!!!!
Americans want change in Washington, there’s no doubt about that.
But try as they will to convince voters that they’re the candidate for change, it seems obvious to me that candidates who are already firmly entrenched Washington insiders are NOT the ones who will make those changes.
It’s exactly that insider same old, same old “experience” so many of the candidates tout that Americans want to get rid of.
WASHINGTON CANNOT FIX WASHINGTON!
Mitt Romney makes a telling comment:
“People who have been there all their careers don’t begin to have the freedom of movement and the capacity to change Washington. They’ve got lobbyists at every elbow, the deals have been worked out in the Senate cloakrooms are just so overwhelming – the scores that have to be settled, all of the favors that have to honored. You just can’t get the job done in Washington with people that have been in Washington all their lives. So people are saying you know what? We need change.”
To me it seems perfectly clear that the most qualified outsider candidate, the one who is most likely to make real change in Washington, is Mitt Romney.

I want people to realize all of the negative ads that have been put out against Romney by not only McCain but Huckabee as well, and what Romney’s response has been. Huckabee has an average of using the word “dishonest” in interviews against Romney 2 to 3 times per interview. While McCain calls Romney a “Phony”! After these personal attacks occur what has been Romney’s response each time? ( Something time and time again such as the following ) “I feel sorry that they are resorting to personal attacks, they are both good men, but we just differ in political opinions.” Who then, I ask, is the better man of the three? Who is being more “Christian” I wonder, to turn the other cheek rather than to retaliate with personal attacks? I believe Mitt Romney is a great man, and would make a great President, and that he shows it by staying true to his beliefs, no matter how popular or unpopular the media makes it out to be, and being enough of a man to campaign fairly and honestly. Romney should win this campaign, and even if he doesn’t, it will be because he is the better man.
Romney is not the flip-flopper people make him out to be.
He has never supported gay marriage but has supported domestic partner benefits. No flip-flop here.
He has always supported the right to keep and bear arms but is okay with banning certain types of weapons. No flip-flop here.
Take a look at Romney’s record. The more you see, the more you’ll like.
Reasons why I am still voting Romney
* Supports keeping the Bush tax cuts permanent.
* Rein in excessive government spending and balance the budget.
* Distinguished record of accomplishments, success and service, with no divorces, no affairs, no scandals. He has a clean image. He is the real thing.
* Admits when he’s been wrong and changes. Other politicians just stay the course when they are wrong. That is scary.
* Strengthening our borders to prevent illegal’s immigrants and terrorists from entering our country. Can you imagine we’re still talking about this 6 and a half years after 9/11? When is it going to get done?
* Works well with Democrats and others who may not hold the same views as he does and stills works to get things done.
* A fresh look for changing our Government because of his experience and success in changing businesses.
* An experienced and successful businessman like Romeny can do better for a recession and our economy than a politician.
* He has the best chance to beat the Democrats.
I was watching the “pre-show” today and heard Huckabee talk about his record of improving schools in Arkansas for five years. One would wonder what he was doing the other eight years he was governor and lieutenant governor of Arkansas … Did it take him that long to realize his schools were sub-standard or was it just a court mandate that got him moving (and taxing the people) to bring about the “change”? No, “I do not like Mike” if you can’t tell.
There have been a couple references to Wyoming and the fact that Romney won by a landslide, but the media have completely failed to give Romney credit for this incredible win.
Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t Wyoming have a total of 14 votes (12 of which have already been awarded) compared to New Hampshire’s 12 votes for the Republican nominee.
I do wish that someone could explain to me why New Hampshires 12 nominee votes are so incredibly, completely, 100,000,000 times more important than Wyoming’s 14 nominee votes.
Gov. Romney has a hurdle to overcome.
The question is, how do you uncover, for all to see, an opponent’s record of liberalism without giving yourself a black eye? He has that problem with Gov. Huckabee and Sen. McCain, most americans have a pretty good feel for both their records. However, those same americans are looking past “their” records for whatever reason. The question of the day, why? Why do americans look past both these republican candidates records of taxation, illegal immigration etc..etc…? I believe the answer is two fold:
1) Gov. Romney has his own cross to bear, the label of “flip-flop” in addition to the fact that he is very financially fluid. He can in fact bankroll his own campaign. Both Huckabee and McCain prey on both of these, do attack him on his financial situation, however not in a direct way. The flip-flop label however, must be addressed. Gov. Romney quite simply cannot expect to survive this campaign without finding a way of putting this issue to bed, permanently. The bottom line is, some americans believe he’ll say whatever he needs to enabling him to get elected. He’s got to find a way to overcome this hurdle. ONCE this is accomplished, his message delivered properly on his opponents will be heard loud and clear.
2) Economically speaking, right now the United states is in a downturn. He must SHOW the ‘average’ american how he will recover the economy. EXACTLY HOW. Realizing it’s a slippery slope with respect to the factors involved with economic recovery, he has an incredible amount of experience in the business world. USE IT, and then show how your opponents fall short (without getting another black eye). That said, Fix #1 once and for all, engage at #2 to apply icing on the cake, and follow through with #1 again. Executed correctly, Mitt Romney will be the next president, of that I have no doubt. Daunting you say? Perhaps, however the most successful people among us have that special something that sets them apart, they ALWAYS find a way to succeed and relish the challenge.
Romney is all hype and phony words. He is just an executive and nothing more. Folks ought to think about the experience that is needed from a President in the world perspective. It maddens me to think that America keeps picking charisma and a candidate that has that “presidential look”. With what is at stake there isn’t even pause to vote Republican or Democratic from this family. We want someone with experience and not the promise of change or hype. Romney just embraced the “change” wordking after Obama’s big win in Iowa. Now look at him. An entitled person that wants us to believe he could change anything!
His answers after the Pakistani and continuing Bhutto crisis should be enough to convince us that he is book learned and has some very good words. But that is about it. Actually the same holds true for Obama with is passionate performances that capture the uninformed voters. Pitiful when the issues themselves will either make or brake America. But, alas, our voters keep picking the “look”/
Forget the deceptive claims that the Mormon faith is a “Christian” faith. No one has the depth to see those for what they truly are. In fact, the Mormons just recently started calling themselves Christian! They believe they are the only way to heaven through their most demonic Mormon faith. They in fact, embrace many Muslim traits. Are you ready for that America!!
I guess we all should now embrace Joseph Smith and his Morman madness just because the word “Bible” is used as well. Millions do see, however, while we are not ready to elect a Bhuddist for President or a Christian Scientist, we can be so foolish to believe that Mormon is Christian because they use the words Bible and Jesus in the same sentence. Religion does shape character and character does affect decisions and our family would never place the office of the president of the United States in the hands of a Morman thinker who believes in the scope of his tenents of faith that he himself can reach the same God status as Jesus Christ himself while living on this earth! Let’s ask Mr. Romeny about what he thinks about his prophet Joseph Smith’s “King Follett Discourse”. Go ahead ask him about it. Then ask yourself if he is a Christian. Ask him if he believes Catholics have salvation. Ask him if he believes that his church is the only road to eternal life. Ask him if he thinks he can achieve God like status on this earth. He will say, “yes, if we live the way Jesus told us”. That is a deceptive answer and the wrong answer leaving all of you voters and Catholics, Prostetants and other faiths outside the Kingdom of God unless you convert Mormon! Go ahead and vote for this man who has no experience and is not a conservative Christian.
Read about the tenants embraced by the Mormans and their Mormon Bible before you call Mr. Romney a Christian conservative. Please read and be informed with the freedoms that you have been given. Don’t tell us it doesn’t matter either lest you are ready to vote Muslim or Christian Scientest with your false protection of his right to run. If he is elected, this country deserves what happens.
To True Conservative:
You are fooled about Wyoming. What you don’t know is that that caucus vote was held early and the party received a penalty for it, which doesn’t matter to them at the moment. Wyoming pulled a large “Mormon” crowd backed through the efforts of the Romney sons. Pitiful….all of it and by the way, Mr. or Mrs. True Conservative, Mormon is NOT Christian/not pulling the major conservative vote unless the conservatives fail to see and understand the Mormon faith properly. Not when the Morman Bible is embraced along side the Bible itself. Not when the Mormon buzz words claim Christianity just because Jesus and Bible are used in the same sentences.
Well, I will swtich to a Democratic vote if Romeny wins the nomination.
Demi you are thephony! Promise us you will switch become a democrat if Romney wins. I can’t believe your garbage. It sounds as if you not only don’t know what a true christian is nor do you know what a true republican is. Its a sad day when we read and hear of such bigetry!
Demi,
One could easily argue that many Evangelical religions are not true Christian religions since they embrace the Nicean definition of Christianity.
The Nicean definition of who Christ completely conflicts with the Biblical teachings about the nature of Christ.
I certainly don’t hear or see posts by Mormons trashing your religion (whatever it may be).
Besides, didn’t Christ take a strong position against the scribes and pharisees who he called hypocrites and who thought that non-scribes and non-pharisees were wrong in their beliefs and practices.
I would recommend a careful, prayerful study of Matthew, Chapter 23.
