Being positive might cost him more votes.

“On the Republican side, California may be Mitt Romney’s best hope to employ what will likely be his latest approach: that he is the true reliable Reagan conservative.

This may seem odd, given the presence of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a pro-choice, pro-gay rights, environmentally-progressive, post-partisan governor. But Schwarzenegger is not emblematic of the California GOP. The rank and file out there — especially those in the interior, in the Central Valley and in the fast-growing counties of Riverside and San Bernardino — are conservative, given to choosing more conservative candidates, even if they are less electable in a general election. (Ah-nold, remember, never ran in a contested Republican primary; he got the statehouse in 2003 in a recall election).

So if Romney can manage to convince conservatives in California than John McCain is an anti-tax-cutting, campaign finance-reforming, immigrant-coddling politician, he may have a chance to win that most populous state and keep his hopes alive for the tests down the road.”

THANK YOU!

This is absolutely frustrating when McCain and Huckabee can stoop so low and come up roses. This is what is wrong in Washington. Romney has a bullseye on his forhead for the time he changed his position on abortion and his rivals have used that to their advantage but had this not been the case I think bigotry is the ultimate reason he has not been able to pull ahead. Romney is still the best man in the race and would fight hard for us.

I will donate to his campaign and I am going in to the call center to help call for super Tuesday.

I was a volunteer for the Romney campaign in Jacksonville, Florida this week. What you probably didn’t hear about from the MSM were the robo-calls from the McCain camp saying that Mitt Romney wanted to “take God out of America”. These attacks were focused on areas like Bay county in the panhandle where evangelicals are prevalent. These were also tag-teamed by the Huckabee campaign, who we confirmed was using our call list to “spam” potential voters with messages from Mitt Romney. They set up their robo-dialers to call the same household four to five times with back to back calls playing one of our messages. The aim was to anger the many undecided voters and turn them to other candidates. We talked to several angry voters who reported upwards of 20 calls the same day from Romney. Many of them in turn went to vote for McCain as a result of their frustration. We asked what number they saw on the caller ID for these calls, and we repeatedly traced them back to Huckabee. With the obvious back-alley dealings that are going on between the McCain/Huckabee/Rudy camps, it is no wonder that Romney lost Florida. PLEASE read this to your audience. It is only fair that we report the truth.

A man we are supposed to respect has just broken that rule and been aided by the media and a rule he helped craft.

Mormons in good standing are bound by a requirement to be “honest with their dealings with their fellow man”. Obviously McCain does not live by a similar requirement. It gives him a significant advantage. (I can’t explain Harry Reed).

I did some reading on slander. It seems that it’s ok if the person doesn’t know that his is lying. That means that either McCain is guilty of lying (and should not be a presidential nominee) or he is incapable of understanding that he was lying (and should not be a presidential nominee). In either case, it appears that he has gotten away with it.

Oh Florida, we depended so much on you.

Back to work. If the cause is just it is not over until it is over. - P

1. Remian quiet and do not lend vocal support to another specific GOP candidiate, and watch McCain/Huckabee get the nomination.

2. Get behind Ron Paul. ( Never gonna happen)

3. Get behind Mitt Romney.

#2 is a non factor because it will never happen. But if they dont get behind option #3, #1 will happen by default.

This is why money is crucial and vital to winning, especially if you do have a household name. Romney is not well known even though he is by far the most qualified and accomplished candidate simply isn’t well known enough. McCain has had years of MSM coverage. He will have positive coverage this week as well.

Romney lost Florida for some of these reasons:

1. Mel Martinez (immigration - cuban vote - he is for amnesty)
2. Gov. Crist (70% approval rating)
3. Huckabee (splits the social conservative vote -abortion / religion)
4. Free MSM coverage (remember free positive coverage is worth tens of millions)
5. The false charges that Mitt is for timetables (people do not know, it makes them uncertain about Mitt)
6. TIME (another week or two and Mitt would have exposed McCain - he ran out of time
7. Veterans
8. Pro War crowd
9. They know John - people are more comfortable with something or someone they know. True change is rare, unknown and difficult for many people to embrace. People will talk about change, in politics talk is the operative word.

Do we really want to have a GOP candidate with so much baggage? It will be on display shortly as the media who has carefully built him up is about to tear him down.

A vote for McCain is a vote for the Dems.

Yesterday may actually prove to be a tipping point where the conservative movers and shakers realize that unless they heed the call to arms and rally around Romney, they are going to lose to McCain/Huckabee?Hillary/Obama.

WHo else is left for them to rally around?

BTW, every station on TV this morning is talking about how McCain lied about Romney. The most vocal is Joe Scarborough. I hope that the Florida win as a result of Lying wakes people up to the fact that with Guiliani gone, Mitt is the only other game left. Abandon him and conservatism in the White House in Jan 09 is a lost cause.

Yesterday’s evenst may turn out to be a “net-net” gain for Mitt if it wakes the powerful among us up who now need to vocally endorse (listening Rush?) or get ready for McCain/ Huckabee as the GOP (losing) ticket.

Mitt is the only one left standing these guys will accept, so the question is whether they will get vocal about support for him now.

He will select someone who is really sharp and who can contribute to help fix Washington. He might consider someone from the south to help with the southern vote but I feel confident whom ever he chooses will be sharp.

She said that just told her who she shouldn’t vote for!

She’s voting Romney.

One example of that endorsement backfiring . . . hopefully it’s doing the same for others.

While talking about it, we ,ight be tempted to pump up Gordon’s national achievements cause it sort of turns Romney’s “negative” (his religion) into a positive by mentioning Gordon’s credentials as good man who has been honored by his nation.

http://www.corecharacter.com/uploads/GordonHinckley_GeorgeBush-thumb.jpg

LDS Church President Gordon B. Hinckley received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian award from President Bush.

“Millions of Americans reserve a special respect for Gordon B. Hinckley, who still works every day as president of the Mormon Church” Bush told those assembled.

“Mr. Hinckley is the grandson of Mormon pioneers and has given devoted service to his church since 1935. He’s always shown the heart of a servant and the gifts of a leader.

“Through his discipline and faithfulness, he has proven a worthy successor to the many fine leaders before him. His church has given him its highest position of trust, and today this wise and patriotic man receives his country’s highest civil honor.”
