Romney Maintains Iowa Lead

No Slip For Romney In Iowa

Romney, who has spent the most and campaigned the hardest in the state, has maintained the double-digit lead he established last spring

Romney: Smartest guy in the room

The most intriguing exceptions are a proposal by former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney to cut capital-gains taxes further

Even very conservative economists who have worked for the Bush administration — including Greg Mankiw, a former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Bush who is now an adviser to Mr. Romney — have publicly stated that today’s tax revenues would be even higher were it not for the Bush tax cuts

I think it is a big fight between Romney and Giuliani over who is the bigger tax cutters

More than 7 in 10 Republican caucusgoers said Mr. Romney’s shifts on issues like abortion kept them from supporting him

Mormon Leaders Say Mitt Romney Sparks Welcomed Curiosity

Romney and the others face off in a debate Tuesday on economic issues

Would a private-equity firm founded by Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney fork over sensitive secrets to the Chinese?

He looks crisp and comfortable in his suits and also manages his own (conservative, of course) style, expertly pairing subtly patterned or striped ties with white shirts and well-cut suits

The fact is that Romney’s very well positioned at this moment

Mitt Romney was seen campaigning in California at an IHOP restaurant.

Al Cardenas, a former chairman of the Republican Party of Florida and Mitt Romney's National Hispanic Steering Committee chairman, has also spoken out against the idea

Mitt Romney Qualifies In Alabama

Combine that historical pattern with the dwindling popularity of President Bush in 2006, and Mitt Romney's inverse sports analogy rings true: "Voters couldn't fire the coach, so they fired some of the players!"

Truth Squad: Are Giuliani's Tax Cuts Exaggerated?
Rudy Giuliani is getting out in front of next week's CNBC presidential debate with a seven-day media blitz touting his record as an economic conservative


Rudy and Hillary: Frenemies for Life

Why Giuliani needs Hillary

A prominent Texas Republican has sued Rudy Giuliani’s law firm and a close friend and partner of Giuliani’s, Kenneth Caruso, alleging that Caruso,the firm and others “schemed and conspired to steal $10 million.”

Rudy Giuliani blows off Iowa and N.H., hits Bronx

'Frontrunner' Rudy Running 4th in Iowa

For a classic example of the politics of self-interest, you can't beat New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's challenge to the line-item veto. ... This is no disinterested argument over constitutional principles. Giuliani wants his piece of the pie, and doesn't care who gets hurt in the process.

It's official. Rudy Giuliani's cellphone chat with his wife during the middle of a recent speech to the National Rifle Assn. is duly added to our roster of candidate-gaffes-that-linger. It joins John Edwards' infamous $400 haircut.

The Real Rudy: A treasure trove of Giuliani tapes during his tenure as New York mayor may come back to haunt him if he becomes the GOP’s presidential nominee.

Rudy's Flip on the NRA: The only exception may be his criticism of the National Rifle Association. “It really is absolutely astounding that the NRA continues to have influence in areas in which they make no sense at all,' the mayor said in an annoyed tone in 1994 Giuliani's echoing cellphone

Ann Coulter says "Dont vote for Thompson"

Freddy's leadership team, cheney, 'macacca allen', baker

Thompson worried about upcoming debate performance

Thompson says it would be 'absolutuely wrong' to rule out tax increases

Thompson are the gay's best bet:

In a well-publicized discussion last week, former Tennessee Senator Thompson told voters that he would back any state legislature that votes for gay marriage. "So be it" became the most popular headline for the accompanying video, on which Thompson says: "If a state chose to recognize [same-sex marriage] and the governor signed off and signed it into legislation, 'so be it.'"

Fred struggles to articluate, leaves iowans wanting for details

Fred is going nowhere fast (problems with illegal immigration, nepotism, terrorism.....)

Thompson flops and then refuses to speak with press (see video of him driving away)

More bad reviews for Fred, news at 11

Fred supporters tired of general platitudes

Its official, ask a Freds supporter why they support him: because he is least bad candidate (How inspiring!)

Thompson scores only a 5 on the 'God-O-Meter' (Yes, there actually exists such a thing) No wonder the evengelicals ditched him

MUST READ: Open Letter to Fred Thompson

Duh...What Fred Thompson doesn't know:
- That Republicans were in control when he was actually involoved in getting Roberts nominated
- That the the Soviet Union Fell
- Who Terry Schaivo is
- That drilling in the everglades is an important issue to Floridians
- That judges from his home state Tennessee just ruled the death penatly is unconstitutional
- Jena Six, "I don't know anything about it."
- Hurricane property insurance (while campaigning in Florida)
- Social Security reform (one of the top issues on his policy agenda) can remember what Bush's position was

But are the Democrats already experiencing buyer's remorse?

'Maybe it's the dynasty thing. Maybe it's the control factor. Maybe it's just that she doesn't feel like change to me.'

Edwards said he would pay for the programs by repealing the Bush tax cut for people earning more than $200,000 a year. He would also raise the capital gains tax rate for wealthier Americans.

Mitt Romney | flickr

"I am an American running for president, not a Mormon running for president, but I am also very proud of my faith. And I am not a cafeteria Mormon, choosing some parts to accept and reject—I am "true blue, through and through." My family and I are better people and far happier than we would have been without our faith. It is puzzling that when NEWSWEEK looks at me ("A Mormon's Journey: The Making of Mitt Romney," Oct. 8) what you mostly see is a Mormon. I would have thought that more important to my potential presidency would be my record as a governor, 25-year business leader, Olympic CEO, father, husband—and American."
Mitt Romney, Belmont, Mass.

Mormon Mitt Romney Wants Evangelical Vote

One of the most frequently asked questions about the Mormons comes as a result of the candidacy of Mitt Romney, former Gov. of Mass. and Republican candidate for president. Elder Ballard explained that the Church does not get involved in campaigns and does not endorse political candidates.

“So the Church is politically neutral, but we teach our people that it’s our duty to seek out and find good honest men and women of value, with values and virtue and honestly and integrity and encourage them to run for office and then to use their agency to vote for whomever they choose,” he explained.


Are evangelicals, a swath of voters representing between 25 and 30 percent of America, splintering in their frustration with what they perceive as no real “values” choice among the front-running presidential candidates? Are they overreacting in refusing to get behind the squeaky-clean Mormon, Mitt Romney?

Americans who reside outside evangelical circles cannot seem to grasp what the objections to Romney and the Latter-day Saints are all about. Yet, surveys reflect the flat rejection of a Mormon bid for the White House by conservative, Bible-believing Christians.


Evangelical Christians never had it so good, but they seem not to know it. Instead of supporting the candidate who most shares their values -- Mitt Romney -- they seem hell-bent for the proverbial cliff.

The candidacy of Mitt Romney, who ran the Games, for the Republican presidential nomination has also brought the church into the national spotlight.

Go to any Romney staffer or campaign leader today and tell them: It’s great to see you’re the frontrunner in Iowa...Watch them wince.

"In some respects, what you can hope for would be for a commentator to go over the line and say some outrageous things," Romney said. "We’d all pounce on him like white on rice."

Republican presidential hopeful Gov. Mitt Romney delivered an arsenal of red-meat, anti-liberal jokes for the fiscally conservative audience at the Americans for Prosperity “Defending the American Dream” Summit Friday night

he beneficiary of the earliest possible caucus date is ex-MA Gov. Mitt Romney, whose aides believe that the (shortened) holiday season will freeze the field and prevent any other candidate from surging at the last minute. Romney's allies on the state central committee have been pushing for an early date for months, as soon as it became clear that New Hampshire might set its primary for Jan. 8 or thereabouts

Mitt Romney issued a statement: “The idea that she would be a credible commander in chief of our armed forces requires the willing suspension of disbelief.”
