Romney ad goes up in Florida

Mitt Romney is continuing his pattern of being up on the air first in key early voting states, now expanding his advertising blitz to Florida, where he has been struggling to climb out of third or fourth place in polls

But the former governor’s aides in Florida have conceded in the past that to produce the same results in a state with as many expensive media markets as Florida, the governor will have to spend a lot more money and similar results will take a lot more time

"Mr. Tompkins indicates it was not done by his firm, that the person who put it up was acting on his own," Romney said. "I've said I do not want to have that person in any way associated with my campaign."

But the methodical, business-like Romney campaign has had a clear strategy -- and, unlike Thompson, a stable, professional management team. For them, January -- not February -- is the decisive month

A Wednesday breakfast fundraiser at the 4100 Cardinal Lane home of Conaway and his wife Suzanne drew 200 people and put $75,000 in the candidate's account, the spokesman said

As per the polls posted on USAElectionPolls.com, Mitt Romney has leads in Iowa, New Hampshire, Utah, and Michigan

The 'running man' theme is clearly an attempt by the Romney campaign to contrast themselves with the charges that Fred Thompson is a lazy campaigner, however, it may be a bit too subtle, as Republicans are unmoved by its message

"His campaign commercials make him look like another politician, rather than the fresh voice and face that he is," said Los Angeles-based GOP ad guru Fred Davis

Ann delights in campaign

"I look forward to joining Governor Romney as he discusses his ideas to bring change to Washington with Ohioans," said Coughlin, who is a bit of a political hot potato these days because he's waging a battle to topple his county party chairman

Mormon Church Donations Help Youth Rise Beyond Ghetto

In yet another remarkable irony for the Christianist wing of the GOP, the candidate groomed to represent their views falls victim to religious bigotry among white evangelicals. And, yes, white evangelicals are more likely to be anti-Mormon bigots than white Catholics and non-evangelical Protestants

I just can't see Romney winning the South as a Mormon. And the GOP is now the Dixie party. One of the consequences of basing your politics on sectarianism, as Bush and Rove have done, is that it limits your appeal to one sect, and all the baggage that comes with it

Romney Denies Offical Ties With Anti-Thompson Site

Romney spokesman Kevin Madden said the employee, Wesley Donehue, created the website phoneyfred.org without the approval of the campaign. Madden said the campaign ordered the site removed when they received calls from the media about it

Here are just a few of the other priceless Romney treasures that the second-story men overlooked

Romney pays magazine to e-mail LDS readers

Despite Romney's best efforts, the Christian right is still looking elsewhere for a candidate,'' said Allan Lichtman, a political science professor at American University in Washington

Mitt Romney may have won the Massachusetts gubernatorial race, but he doesn't look likely to carry that state as a presidential candidate,

Romney spent several days debating illegal immigration - bringing up "sanctuary city" policies that protect illegal immigrants from federal enforcement

Mitt Romney’s two main gurus are Beth Myers, his closest aide and former chief of staff in Massachusetts – who is also a Rove acolyte from Texas – and Alex Castellanos, a well-regarded media consultant who has been busy crafting Romney’s image to conservatives

Virginia: Clinton leads former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney by four points, 44% to 40%

In Florida Romney Is Stuck At 11 Percent

Martinez attacked Mitt Romney, for opposing and mischaracterizing the Senate bill. Just two weeks earlier, the RNC had voted to embrace an enforcement-first strategy toward handling illegal immigration -- a policy much closer to Romney than it is to the president

Aren't Both Points True: "The governor has been clear that he supports the surge and that he thinks that it’s working," said Kevin Madden, a spokesman for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who just last week called the war "a mess."

I have publicly announced that I am a strong supporter of Gov. Mitt Romney. Among the many reasons for doing so is Gov. Romney's decision not to support the McCain-Feingold-Thompson law. I believe, as he does, that it is an affront to the individual rights of the voter, and should be abolished

A complete mischaracterization: Most of the current candidates fall squarely into the big-government camp. Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney imposed a Hillary Clinton style health plan

Mitt Romney founded and directed a successful investment firm. He was elected in a liberal state and got a universal health-insurance program adopted that didn't involve a government takeover of either the medical or insurance systems

17 percent of CFOs say they would vote for Mitt Romney

Lt. Gov. Bolling Live Blog Open Thread: discuss his work with the Romney campaign

You could take this as evidence of Romney's possible crypto-realist tendencies, or of his eye for the main political chance (or both)

Governor Mitt Romney on the Sixth Anniversary of September 11, 2001


boston.com

A law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the case said someone at Romney's campaign headquarters reported the crime in a 911 call at 9:40 a.m. and said that $20,000 worth of equipment was stolen. According to a preliminary police report, entry was made through a third-floor window and eight laptops and a 32-inch television were stolen

They ripped from a wall a 37-inch plasma television, the personal property of Spencer Zwick, the candidate's finance manager and close personal adviser

Romney takes Bin Laden, Iran to task

Romney called the ad "outrageous," adding, "Like the men he commands, he is risking his life to protect our freedoms here at home. We should not prejudge him or his testimony, or give him anything less than the full respect he deserves."

From day one of the campaign the Romney camp threw the typical playbook out the door and tapped into the energy of everyday supporters to demonstrate their own fundraising prowess

McCain is now being written off by some, while Romney, still relatively unknown nationally, is considered by many to be Giuliani’s major challenger

But Romney missed an opportunity to address the connection between economics and illegal immigration. He should have focused on businesses that hire illegal immigrants in order to secure inexpensive labor
