Mitt on Super Tuesday
In Case You Missed It: Governor Mitt Romney on Super Tuesday
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5 /Standard Newswire/ — the following is the coverage of Governor Mitt Romney on Super Tuesday:
Governor Romney on The Importance Of These Times (Fox News’ “Fox & Friends,” 2/5/08):
Governor Romney: “These are really critical times for our country. We face extraordinary challenges from the jihadists, from new competition from Asia. We see our economy getting weaker. People wonder how they are going to pay their bills, gas bills, heating bills. If America keeps on the same track we’re on, we’re not going to remain the most powerful nation on Earth. Washington is fundamentally broken, and it’s not going to get changed by people who spent their whole life in Washington. You’re going to have to have somebody come from the outside, the way Ronald Reagan came from the outside, and shake Washington up. And that’s exactly what I intend to do. I don’t think it’s also possible to have somebody lead our party who is very much outside the house that Reagan built. Senator McCain’s a fine fellow, national hero. But his positions on the keystone issues of his 25 years are positions that are more like Democrats than like those of Republicans.”
Governor Romney On Conservative Support (MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” 2/5/08):
Governor Romney: “[T]his is just the beginning. We’ve got a lot of states to go. And what we’re seeing is, by virtue of voices like yours and others across the conservative world, conservatives are waking up, and they’re saying, ‘Look, we just can’t take a left turn in our party. We’ve got to stand by the principles that Ronald Reagan laid out.’ And I’m the conservative candidate in this race. It’s become a two-person race, and in California over the weekend, as you point out, the polls show that I’m tied there or doing a little better than tied. You never know whether to believe polls or not. But then you look at Maine, we just had a caucus in Maine over the weekend. Both U.S. Senators were fighting for Senator McCain, but you know what, I won there by 50 to 20. The signs are good that conservatives are listening and saying, ‘You know what, we don’t want to take the liberal path.’”

Most unfortunately, Huckabee has won West Virginia in the 2nd roll call. The Ron Paul & McCain supportes of the 1st roll call jumped ship and voted for Huckabee rather than Romney. 52% Huckabee, 47% Romney, 1% McCain. A sad moment!! Info at http://www.wsaz.com/

What’s up with them all jumping to Huckabee. I am sickened. When Romney was in 1st place after the first round of voting, with 41%. Something’s fishy here.
February 5th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
“Huckabee won on the second ballot, after supporters of U.S. Sen. John McCain switched their votes to him. That gave Huckabee 557 votes to 522 for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney on the second ballot. McCain had 10 votes.”
“Former Louisiana Gov. Buddy Roemer, McCain’s representative at the event, then conceded defeat and asked McCain boosters to support Huckabee on the second ballot in order to block Romney.”
That’s a direct quote from the Charleston Gazette http://wvgazette.com/News/200802050313

Rush just said “a vote for Huckabee is a vote for McCain”.

Eva,
Now there is proof. Votes for McCain/Huckabee are interchangeable.

Oh, Anne Marie took down the mislabeled “Mitt Wins WV” post. I was rehearsing some of my stump speech for the precinct caucuses tonight. I’m disappointed, there was some good spin going on in the comment section. Oh well…

I will never vote for Mitt Romney. I have had at least 8 calls in the last week, including multiple calls in a day. I realize it was the week before Super Tuesday and that I am a registered Republican, therefore, I expected phone calls from candidates. However, multiple calls certainly within a days time, is bordering on harrassment. I have not made up my mind who I am supporting for President, but I know who I am not: Mitt Romney. I work from home full time and the calls interupt my work.

Huh?

Don’t give in, don’t give up…
60% of the Conservative Republicans Don’t want McCain! We are fighting harder. Mitt said it’s not over, yet.
He is keeping on pushing! We Need Mitt; He needs us; America needs Mitt and us, the People!
We are forming an army of “Romney Foot Soldiers”. We are currently recruiting serious conservatives who care for America’s future. Invite your family members, friends and your other associates… to http://www.Ultimitt.org
See you there! GO MITT!

I am so sorry “IF” or some reason this man slips out of the race for President Of These United States.
Maybe he would consider Running or find someone of his make and person, to run in West Virginia for Gov. If American does not see fit to have him, I would love to see him come and clean up this state. It is in pretty sad shape.
God Bless He and His Family for ever.
Thank you for being there.
