He sounds lovestruck.

BUMP for Mitt.

[EternalVigilance]

Gosh. Maybe Mitt can get him a seat on the bench.

It is very hard to watch these clips and not like Mitt Romney.

Especially his wife, who suffers with MS, saying she would not want an unborn baby experimented on even if it meant a cure for her.

[Unmarked Package]

Governor Mitt Romney, the Chief Executive

...and Mitt, the grandfather

Romney/Kerry flip flop !

Romney/Kerry flip flop !

This is intellectually dishonest.

Where is Romney's Flop?

On what issue or issues has he waffled or gone back and forth on?

At least gay rights and abortion off the top of my head. IIRC, he favored banning guns on their appearance too.

Whether you support Mitt Romney or not, you have to admit the video media pieces at Mitt TV are some of the finest political spots in content and production values.

For example, the spot titled "This is the story..." is of equal quality to video spots one typically sees at National Conventions to introduce the Party's nominee.

The people managing the video media at Romney's web site are real pros.

Answer the question --- Where is the FLOP?

Also, I remember him being very upset with the Massachusetts Supreme Court when they decided they could legalize gay marriage.

"he favored banning guns on their appearance too"

No flip there, he still does!

He was quite solicitous of the Log Cabin pubbies and the pro-choice vote in Massachusetts. Now that he's looking at GOP primaries in 2008, he's changed his tune.

[CheyennePress]

He's extremely articulate, humerous, quick-witted, likeable, and very presidential looking.

On top of that, he's saying the right things.

I'm glad this was posted.

[Carry_Okie]

Bummer when you have to repeat the obvious for the willfully oblivious.

[George W. Bush]

...Clinton’s wife, who has all the seductive qualities of John Kerry in a pants suit.

Great line. Muhahahaha...

Interesting the slant this journalism prof takes. He's talking about Romney coming across personally to people. One thing that comes to mind is how much Iowa and especially New Hampshire are personal contact states for the nomination.

If Romney can come across to voters the way the prof thinks he will, he has more than a small chance.

I think after Rudymania subsides, the voters will be looking around for someone else. Out of sheer '08 boredom if nothing else. And the press will undoubtedly become bored and the more Giuliani rises, the more exposure his leftwing record will get which will drive down his numbers a bit. By then, McStain's fall in the polls due to his pro-surge stance will have withered his prospects and he might withdraw. Romney, having paced his ground and financial operations, will expect to start a strong rise at year end and peaking in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Whether Hunter can catch on with his pro-life, pro-gun Reagan agenda remains to be seen.

It may be Tortoise (Romney) vs. Hare (Giuliani).

Isn't it amazing that so early in a race there are Conservatives who are not even willing to hear out all the Candidates?

[Republican Red]

I just watched the video. I really like this guy. I haven't come close to making up my mind on who I'd vote for in a primary but Mitt is at the top of the list.

On a very superficial note, my female opinion is also that he isn't hard on the eyes! He can debate with me anytime!!!lol

[sevenbak]

Correction, that's a flip, not a flip flop. He has changed his views on a couple of issues, but certainly not back and forth as you suggest.

[msnimje]

I haven't come close to making up my mind...

I don't think we should make up our minds yet, this is far too important.
I am really learning a lot by researching all the candidates, lots of surprises!

The most interesting and revealing website for Gov. Romney is: http://www.evangelicalsformitt.org

Suggestion wasn't my point. Inconsistency and convenience according to circumstance was my point. I didn't originate the "flip flop" metaphor. Someone else did. Like Kerry being for the war, before he was against it.
