Race Far From Over, Time to Gear Up for the Long Haul
The GOP presidential race has turned out far different than anyone could have foreseen. It seemed for so long the race would be Romney vs. Giuliani - Early Primary State Strategy vs. Big State Strategy. Things have not gone as exactly planned where folks in the Romney Camp had hoped for complete sweeps in the primary — leading to insurmountable momentum aimed to penetrate Giuliani’s big state “firewall”.
But, the Governor finds himself in an extremely competitive position due to his early state strategy. He has currently gained more electoral and votes than any other candidate. Giuliani’s firewall has been brought down due to the climbs of Romney, Huckabee and McCain. The race is close and well fought, and therefore EXPENSIVE. And… It will continue to be so because there is no clear front-runner. Regardless of who wins NV, SC, and FL, I don’t think a single candidate will be out of contention before the Feb. 5th Super-Tuesday.
Herein lies Romney’s advantage. The whole scope of the race has changed. It is very, very likely that there won’t even be a front-runner even after Feb. 5th. The longer the race takes the more each candidate will run low on fuel. No one has received more money, from more people in personal campaign donations than Governor Romney! He has a broad base that has done well to finance him. The Governor has also shown his willingness to contribute in like manner to match the commitment of his supporters.
This is call for all to continue to support the Governor in his Campaign!

In an MSM article entitled “Romney Seeks Nevada Win”, the reporter starts out by explaining that Romney is seeking the win in Nevada because of the heavy Mormon population. Then near the end of the article, he gives the following information showing that Nevada only has 6.8 percent Mormon population. Read how that small number creates media bias and how they would interpret such a win:
About 170,000 people in Nevada, or 6.8 percent of its population, are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the formal name of the religion headquartered in neighboring Utah.
But political analysts say even if Romney prevails in Nevada’s caucuses, which are gatherings of voters rather than the more typical casting of secret ballots in voting booths, the win is unlikely to shake up the most wide open Republican presidential race in decades.
“Given how fractured the Republican constituency is at this point, the victor is going to be the person who can start building the coalition between the different factions,” said Julian Zelizer, professor of politics at Princeton University in New Jersey.
“If Romney’s strength in Nevada is just to get the Mormon vote, then it doesn’t advance him too far,” he said.

Contrast this
Mitts almost ten point win over McCain in Michigan they call it “Romney Edges out McCain”.
McCains five point win in New Hampshire over Romney the press call it “Resounding and a rejection of Romney”.
Then a state with a 6.8 percent Mormon Population is going to maul their way to the poll and vote only for Mitt becuase he shares their same faith?
I think the Press has contracted F.M.D =
