"I thought that Romney was a moderate, not an all-out RINO. He isn't really pro-abortion, is he? If so, he may be the only pro-abortion Mormon politician who has attained high office (even liberal Harry Reid usually votes pro-life, and I believe so does Jim Matheson (D-UT))."

I think at one point, he was pondering running as a pro-lifer for Governor, but changed his mind when his pollsters told him that might prove difficult. Jim Matheson, I believe, is pro-abortion. Even after gerrymandering that seat in UT, we failed to provide enough $$ support to the Republican to knock him off.

"I also understand that Governor Carcieri of Rhode Island is pro-life, and fairly conservative on other issues as well. How could someone that conservative get 55% of the vote in a state where W. only got like 30% in 2000? I know Rhode Island is our most Catholic state (between 50-60% Catholic), but I thought they were mostly French-Canadian Cafeteria Catholics."

The pro-life issue got lost in the fact that Myrth York was the 'Rat nominee for the 3rd time in a row.

If Matheson runs for re-election (he may run for Governor instead), he will go down in 2004. Swallow lost by like 1% even though he got very little support from the GOP. That will not be the case in 2004, and with Bush wielding his mighty coattails, Utah will once again have an all-Republican Congressional delegation (it should have been 4 Republican Representatives, not 3, but the Census Bureau and the Supreme Court stole one of Utah's seats and gave it to North Carolina).
