Two days before Super Tuesday’s multistate nominating contests, Mitt Romney tried to draw some of the momentum away from Senator John McCain’s campaign on Sunday, hammering home his often-repeated claim that the Arizona Republican is unacceptable to conservatives.
“This is a battle in some respects for the heart and soul of the Republican Party,” Mr. Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, said on ABC News. With weekend polls showing Mr. McCain holding a commanding lead across the states holding contests on Tuesday, Mr. Romney was fighting to retake the advantage. Mr. McCain told Fox News on Sunday that he was “guardedly optimistic.”
As candidates campaigned furiously in the hours before the Super Bowl, the Democrats, Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and Barack Obama of Illinois, were close to a draw, the polls showed, with Mrs. Clinton narrowly ahead.
Mr. Romney continued Sunday to make his plea to conservatives ever clearer, as he repeatedly invoked the name of President Ronald Reagan, a conservative icon. He also cited right-wing radio talk-show hosts like Rush Limbaugh who have accused Mr. McCain of being a phony conservative.
“Conservatives across the country are going, ‘Whoa, we have to get behind Mitt Romney,’ ” Mr. Romney said on CNN. He asserted that Mr. McCain favored amnesty for undocumented aliens and that his climate-change policies would cost 300,000 American jobs.

“John McCain is Bob Dole minus the charm, conservatism and youth. Like McCain, pollsters assured us that Dole was the most “electable” Republican. Unlike McCain, Dole didn’t lie all the time while claiming to engage in Straight Talk.” (Ann Coulter, Straight Talk Express Takes Scenic Route to Truth, January 23, 2008, http://www.anncoulter.com/cgi-local/article.cgi?article=231)
Rush Limaugh says you can tell who the conservative by who the media hates the most. Can anyone doubt it’s Mitt Romney? “Oh, he should quit now, if he doesn’t win New Hampshire.” “He should quit if he doesn’t win Michigan.” “If he doesn’t win Florida, he doesn’t have a change.” McCain has had the most fawning, adoring press coverage of anyone including Hilary and Karl Marx!

Romney/Schwarzenegger 2008
That was Illinois.
You’re right. For some reason, I always thought that took place in Independence, MO.
Another endorsement for Mitt Romney from one of my favorite conservatives!

I hope Zogby refunded Romney's money.
