Idaho Romney Supporters Stand By Candidate After New Hampshire Loss
KIVI-TV ^ | Jan 9, 2008

Posted on 01/09/2008 6:24:34 PM PST by AmericanMade1776

Mitt Romney supporters in Idaho won't say they're disappointed in their candidate's finish Tuesday night, but State Schools Superintendent Tom Luna says he is anxious. "But I suspect that no matter who you're supporting right now on either party, cause its so fluid."

Right now, there's no clear front runner for the Republican presidential nomination. That's despite Romney spending far more money than any other candidate in both New Hampshire and Iowa and still losing both. But his Idaho campaign chair Lieutenant Governor Jim Risch says Romney's in a good position, because he has more delegate votes right now than any other candidate. Risch says, "You can be gathering votes, even winding up second in the race and be in the position that he's in. Where he as the most committed delegates right now."

Right now, Romney has 24 delegates and his closest competitor Mike Huckabee has 18. That means the most important primaries are yet to come.

Does Commonwealth Care, popularly known as “RomneyCare,” provide taxpayer-funded abortions?

Doesn’t look to me like Romney is losing.

"..or is your brain so atrophied from Romney worship that you can’t objectively look at the facts of a politician’s record anymore?"

My brain is atrophied from Romney worship and you, sir, are an anti-Romnite.

Sorry you don’t like Romney....he will be our next president. You can stay home and hope a Democrat gets elected, if you want.

The election has to be won on the ground. Posts trashing a candidate will get you absolutely nowhere.

I think Romney is the most impressive and smartest candidate to come along in a generation. You should be happy about the prospect of change that he will bring to DC....yet you are such a partisan hack, you are blinded by your hate. You can’t even see the forest.

Right. The law Mitt signed without a whimper. Not surprising, considering stuff like this:

Romney vociferously defends his support for abortion on demand

“It wasn’t socialized medicine, it was private insurance. I guess you believe paying for auto insurance is socialized also.”

It’s my understanding that anyone choosing not to get health insurance has to pay an ever increasing fine. I find that disturbing.

Mass is full of gays, Most of them are good people. I have 6 neighbors who are gay, they are all good people. One is a solid conservative and doesn’t like the gay agenda.

Do you want to do away with gays?

You will pay a $500 dollar fine here in Virginia if you don’t have auto insurance and your license is suspended.

Please explain the difference?

No. Do you want everyone's children to have the gay "lifestyle" forced upon them as not only acceptable but as a positive good, as has happened in Mitt Romney's Massachusetts to a greater extent than anywhere else in America?

He’s a phony. Anyone who believes him is either incredibly naive, or willfully part of one of the biggest deceptions ever attempted in American political history.

Are you familiar with Bob Jones University in South Carolina? That's not exactly a bastion of liberalism. In fact, some would say it is an extremist conservative college. They don't endorse liberals. Do you know who their dean endorsed?

He endorsed Mitt Romney

Ever hear of Jim Bopp? Bopp is the general counsel for the National Right to Life Committee.

He endorsed Mitt Romney

That's small-time socialist nanny-statism, the Romney plan and its relatives are the socialist's BIG power grab.

Does Virginia require you to insure against your own losses, or just what you might do to other people?
