PROVO – Did unreported factors contribute to the demise of Mitt Romney's 2008 presidential campaign?
How did the news media cover the 1967-68 presidential campaign of his father, George Romney?
Two research projects presented to an audience of more than 100 people at BYU's Mormon Media Studies Symposium recently compared the two Romneys' campaigns.
BYU professors John Gee and Louis C. Midgley titled their paper, "Under the Media's Nose: Overlooked Factors Undermining the Presidential Campaign of Mitt Romney.

Every LDS I've ever known has NOT been righteous. They certainly weren't righteous in their actions, although they could be very polite when they stabbed you in the back. And they needed the imputed righteousness of Jesus, not the earned righteousness demanded by Joseph Smith. And this also comes from someone who isn't one.
Agreed.
And it’s absolutely fair that voters consider religion sizing up the man. Religion speaks to character and core values.
...and Jim's crew of Conservative Crusaders.
I posted this piece for the information of Freepers who only see highly critical articles about Mitt Romney.
Fair and balanced.
Thanks for each and every comment.

Who brainwashed him then? I thought it was Jimrob
Yes.
In similar fashion, I’m a Catholic, but that doesn’t mean that I’d vote for Teddy Kennedy or Nancy Pelosi because they call themselves Catholics.
This is not an endoresment! Romney ran a good campaign. well organized, staff wasnt infested with goofballs, he stayed on HIS message. They had great organization skills.
A lession could be learned by the way he ran...or others ran his campaign.
Hw will not be the nom in any case thank goodness. People are tired of the slick phonies..which includes the biggest con artist ..the HUCKSTER!
George SOROS BUTTBOY
Yes, they were highly professional liars for Romney.
My impression is that it was because a lot of people weren’t necessarily voting for him to win, but because they didn’t really want McCain.
You miss the point. His staff did a great job. Not that he was RIGHT. Romney’s staff was better than McCain’s and the hucksters combined. That has nothing to do with his positions.
He is McMitt.
The report appears to present Mitt’s flip-flopping as a figment of our bigoted imaginations:
“George Romney was never portrayed as a flip-flopper the way Mitt was”
No, I totally got the point. They were very professional liars for Romney.
Well, the whole "he wasn't a conservative" argument won't fly, unless you believe that McCain is a conservative.
One term governors usually don't get Republican presidential nominations. A lot of primary voters (some of whom were actually Republicans) assumed it was McCain's turn, and McCain did have more experience in national politics.
Now this time, Romney can make a case that it's his turn. But he was still only a one-term governor, so he still hasn't proven he's got what it takes.
Obama's argument that winning primaries and the convention are the equivalent of actual political -- even administrative -- experience isn't going to fly with Republicans, especially now.
To a lot of people Mitt comes across a little too much like the CEO who fired them, so, barring some kind of freak perfect political storm, he won't win the nomination or election.
There is one word.
R-I-N-O!!!
This guy tried to look more liberal than Ted Kennedy to try and get elected as a Massachusetts. Then, when that wasn’t enough, he tried to look more conservative than the other GOP. I don’t think anyone knows where on Earth this guy stands on any issues.
Obviously you haven't see THIS comment.
"Not to mention his baby MURDERING traits!! The man is scum of the earth!! he claims to have changed is mind, but I’ve never seen him apologize or beg forgiveness for the thousands of unborn babies he slaughtered on his Altar to himself, the Governor’s Chair of Massachusetts (should have been the electric chair). No, I will never be sympathetic to murdering socialist/statist scumbags or anyone who worships such evil!!
FUMR!! Keep him the hell off of FR!!
No RomneyCare for America!! No taxpayer funded abortion!! No gay agenda!! No mandates against our free people, even by a state government!!
And he’s never appologized for that either. In fact, he still brags about it!! Scumbag statist, that he is!!
Mitt Romney is an ASSHOLE statist/Marxist whore in drag!!
FUMR!!
Hope his supporters are reading me LOUD AND CLEAR!!
There will be NO Romney campaign on FR EVER!! So if that is your hope, get the FLOCK OFF FR NOW!!
