SALT LAKE CITY — Mitt Romney brought his book tour Saturday back to the city where he led the 2002 Winter Olympics, telling an enthusiastic audience he could decide by Christmas whether to run again for president.
"That's not a decision we've made at this point," Romney told a 12-year-old boy from Bluffdale who said he was "asking a question that a lot of people are wondering and that's, 'Are you going to run for president?' "
The cheers the question received were among the loudest during Romney's hour-long appearance at the Salt Palace as part of his national tour for his latest book, "No Apology: The Case for American Greatness."
Romney said that, like the last time he made a bid for the GOP nomination for president, he and his family will gather to discuss the pros and cons of another campaign, possibly at Christmas or over New Year's.
He said his 2008 run for the White House was fun, especially because of the people who "give their heart and soul for you even when they know you're going to lose."
"There will be somebody who runs in the Republican Party," Romney told an estimated 4,000 people gathered in the Grand Ballroom. "I can tell you I'll either be that person, or I'll be working my tail off for that person, and I want you to, as well, because we've got to take back America."

Now why would Romney start his book campaign in Utah?
__________________________________________________________
He didn’t. This was yesterday. His tour has been going for a week or so.
Here is his reception at a Michigan Borders bookstore a few days ago.
Not unexpected: “The Desert News” is nothing but a pro-Mormon mouth piece.

“Thousands of fans hail Romney in SLC”

Hey MORMONs!
Look what the Catholics have got!!

Not sure why you posted the Basilica?? What’s up doc?
Wouldn't folks like a VIRTUAL* tour of the secr SACRED Mormon Temple?
Or one of the Living Prophet's living quarters; high in the sky over downtown SLC?
* It would HAVE to be virtual; for the mere PRESENSE of an unwashed Gentile (or even a non-TR holding MORMON) would DEFILE the place so badly it would have to be washed down thouroughly.
HUNDREDS welcome....

Or you can go in person to one of the open houses before it's dedicated. There's one going on in Vancouver right now. See some olympic venues, have some fresh salmon, make a weekend of it.
I know you will enjoy Elsie... if only you could take time off of the Mormon bashing on FR... ;-)
Mitt is McCain with better hair.
Sorry, Romney - to truly set this country back on the right path we need more Palin and less you.

These look like every mortuary I’ve ever been in!
1 Corinthians 2:9
King James Bible
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
As I wrote before, the issue is not "How self-labelled 'Conservative' American voters view themselves".
The issue is how some "Holier-And-More-Conservative-Than-Thou", self-proclaimed "Conservatives" on FR view anybody that is one single inch to the Left of them as "RINO's" and the Devil incarnate.
Forty percent of Americans may label themselves "Conservatives".
"Holier-And-More-Conservative-Than-Thou", self-proclaimed "Conservatives" like rabscuttle385 label the majority of those voters as "RINO's".
"If they are one quarter inch to the Left of me, they are RINO's and they are no different than Barack Hussein Obama!"
That is the self-destructive agenda that rabscuttle385 pushed in 2008 and look where it got us. It got us Barack Hussein Obama as President of the United States.
True, John McCain is not as Conservative as those of us on Free Republic. Not by a long shot. Be that as it may, John McCain is MILES to the Right of Barack Hussein Obama.
Yet, even after the primaries were over and even though the choices were:
A.) John McCain & Sarah Palin
or
B.) Barack Hussein Obama & Joe Biden
Rabscuttle385 was still attacking and attacking and attacking McCain prior the the Presidential elections. Even after the election, he is STILL attacking John McCain!
Today, over one year after Barack Hussein Obama was inaugurated President of the United States, ; rabscuttle385 is still not attacking Barack Hussein Obama. He is still attacking John McCain.
Go figure.
Have you ever seen an article posted by rabscuttle385 attacking Barack Hussein Obama?
I haven't.
Rabscuttle385 might be working for ACORN for all we know.
Even after Obama is destroying America as we have known it, rabscuttle385 is still obssessed with attacking and attacking and attacking John McCain.
Rabscuttle385 does not give a r@t's ass that Barack Hussein Obama is destroying America. Maybe Rabscuttle385 is really an Obama operative. He ceratainly functions like one.
Rabscuttle385 only cares that John McCain is a "RINO". Or, at least, that is what he claims. Based on the outcomes, it can be convincingly argued that Rabscuttle385 only cares about getting Far-Left-Wing candidates lected.
My point is that the vast majority of American voters are not going to be as Conservative as those of us on FR. Most self-proclaimed "Conservatives" in the American electorate would be labeled "RINO's" by people like rabscuttle385.
If we automatically attack anybody to the Left of where rabscuttle385 allegedly is, we are guaranteeing ourselves an electoral defeat of Biblical proportions.
America has moved to the Left since the days of Ronald Reagan. I might not like that. You might not like that. But, that's the way it is.
It may well be the most American voters view Romney as"Conservative" as opposed to Far-Far-Left Barack Hussein Obama.
Be that as it may, rest assured that, even after the primaries are over and the choices are:
A.) Mitt Romney
or
B.) Barack Hussein Obama
Rabscuttle385 will be attacking and attacking and attacking Romney and helping put Barack Hussein Obama into the White House in 2012 just as he helped put Barack Hussein Obama into the White House in 2008.
A.) Mitt Romney
or
B.) Barack Hussein Obama
Rabscuttle385 will be attacking and attacking and attacking Romney and helping put Barack Hussein Obama into the White House in 2012 just as he helped put Barack Hussein Obama into the White House in 2008.
