Mitt Romney is being hit with the first attack ad of the Utah Senate race Thursday, a slickly produced video that portrays him as a darling of the D.C. establishment and gives him the nickname flip-flopper Mitt.
The ad from Republican candidate Larry Meyers slams Mr. Romney, the presumptive front-runner in the GOP race, with accusations of not being conservative enough for Utah voters.
The D.C. establishment loves Mitt Romney. But Utah voters have a better choice. Larry Meyers, says the announcer.
It then rips open an old wound for Mr. Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee and a former Massachusetts governor.
In 2012, President Barack Obama also accused Mr. Romney of being a flip-flopper and having no core.
Flip-flopper Mitt has been all over the map. On issues like the Second Amendment. On issues like life. And the last time Mitt Romney was elected, he stuck the country with the blueprint for Obamacare, says the ad, the voice-over announcers words repeated in text across the screen.
These lines of attack are expected to dominate the race, as it follows a familiar patter of recent GOP primaries becoming conservative versus establishment showdowns.

... unless he screws up.... ?
Mitt *is* is a screw up. Utah should know this.
Nah, a used Mercedes has at least some value.
Mitt Romney has no redeeming value for the U. S. Senate whatsoever.
Who could possibly want another John McCain?
Utah, get your head glued on straight.
This man is an enemy to most of your values.
Did he move there with his belongings in a carpet bag?
...
And binders full of women.
Good. I hope they will elect another republican, but not Mitt. He’s better than a democrat, but only just barely.
mittens really is such a LIB loser.
Don’t worry, in the end they will obey what the church elders tell them to do.
He’s a RINO POS who will stab us in the back first chance he gets.
Isn’t there ONE Utah conservative that could be brought forward?
Used BMW salesman...

He’s Joe Isuzu, but with less truthiness.
I would not call me the biggest social conservative you ever met and I am aligned a lot more with what you folks around here would consider RINO traits, but I would never, ever, ever vote for this dude. He flips more than a fish on the dock.
Oh, that is perfect.
Mitt Romney, the Joe Izusu of the GOP Establishment
LOL! Good for you! Getting any feed back at all, from your Utah neighbors and others??
Couldn’t agree more. Utah has a plethora of moral and good people. RINOmney can be outdone by a simple look into any of that state’s phone books.
Please, this is not an endorsement, but only an explanation. The Romney extended family has deep roots in Utah, even though his dad ran an auto company and he grew up in Michigan.
Mittens also stepped into a bad situation and salvaged the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics and turned them into quite a success.
He has maintained a residence in Park City, an upscale ski resort in winter.
That said, I agree with the ad that Willard is too liberal for a state that finally has a chance to elect a true conservative.
Willard scares me. Given a number of things he has said the last couple of years, I'm concerned he could turn into another McCain.
Church leaders don’t tell people who to vote for.
However, he will win because of the backing he gets from the Republican party and his name recognization.
Milt will become the H->! of the Senate.
I would like to see Mittens defeated.

Mitt Romney is just another globalist puke just like any (choose one) Bush family member
