CBS-"Mitt Romney made an unannounced stop at the Colorado Conservative Political Action Conference and received a standing ovation"

I recall watching his NAACP event. It was a polite response from the audience, more or less a thank you for your appearance. The UC Berkeley ovation was much longer and much more enthusiastic. Rand genuinely won over that audience.
Much more important...I don’t think you will ever catch Rand talking about the 47%. Or that rape does not result in pregnancy. Or not knowing about the Bush doctrine. Rand will not lose votes of anti-mormon bigots.
I do not agree with all his positions and proposals. As a legal immigrant, I am especially opposed to placing illegals ahead of those waiting in line legally. But I usually favor smart, politically astute, thoughtful, candidates who look good on TV and can get votes from many spectrums of voters. I favor those who IMO have best chance to win.
