Matt Romney’s Thoughts on the Eve of Tsunami Tuesday
Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the rally tonight in Long Beach. Matt Romney kindly granted an interview which I conducted over the phone as he drove home to San Diego with his family. Since I did not have a recorder, and don’t have the skill of short-hand, this is my best transcription from my notes:
“It was a remarkable turnout in the tight time frame we had. I was sitting in the Denver airport yesterday and got a call from my dad who said he was going to California the next day and asked me, ‘can you bring some friends?’ I put the word out and look at the amazing turnout we got! A friend of mine said he did a rough count of those in attendance and counted about 2,000; with one day’s notice! I think this remarkable turn-out, on such a short notice, is indicative that my dad’s message is resonating with the people of California.”
Since I could not attend tonight, I asked Matt who, besides himself and Governor Romney, were in attendance at the rally. He said that Jim and Becky Davies (Ann’s brother and sister-in-law) were there along with Congressmen Dana Rohrabacher (R-46th), John Campbell (R-48th), and Buck McKeon (R-25th). Also there, was conservative talk show host, constitutional law professor, and author Hugh Hewitt.
He continued:
“After the rally, I chatted with Congressman Rohrabacher about the surfboard he presented to my dad last week at the rally in Fountain Valley [CA] and joked that as we get closer to the general election this year, we need to get my dad back out here for a surf party and (stealing a line from someone else) ‘ride the wave of conservative momentum right up to the general election!’
A number of people from around the state of California, who have the pulse of the people, have told me that in the last four to five days, the momentum has shifted and picked up for us. I feel pretty good about our chances here in California of getting more delegates than John McCain will get tomorrow.
The mainstream media has been wrong time and again and we will prove them wrong again. We need to get every conservative voter out to the polls in every state tomorrow to vote for Mitt Romney and prove the mainstream media wrong again.
Please tell all your readers and all those who are working so hard to influence others, THANK YOU!”

Here’s a link to a CNBC poll asking which candidate would be best for Wall Street. (Duh!) As I write, McLoser is leading MR 38% to 30%– Let’s put an end to that!!

Thank you Governor Romney for working so hard!!! This to me is the best indication of what you would do as president. I can’t help but contrast the photographs here with those of McCain. You look folks in the eye as you touch their hands, (compare that to mccain who shakes one hand while repeating thank you thank you thank you and looking the other way) you shut down the workplace to go after a colleagues missing child, you dig out stumps at burnt out homes in California, you work as a community servant as governor and olympics without a salary to give back, you attend church to worship God not politic etc. etc. It is difficult to say thank you but my vote will be for you.
