When a candidate for president blows into town, most reporters show up. There’s always a chance he or she will say something surprising or stupid, and there could even be a chance to ask a substantial question and get an answer with some teeth to it, but it’s not likely. That’s just the way these things go. But when the Idaho press showed up today for Republican candidate Mitt Romney, his people were still rehearsing – badly - the drill of the classic obligatory campaign fly-through. They issued conflicting information about the place and time of the press conference, with...

In this year's proclamation, which Romney signed this week, there is no reference to Roe v. Wade... The change in the Massachusetts proclamation has no practical effect, and leading abortion-rights advocates said they were not aware of it until a Globe reporter called them seeking their comment. But the abortion-rights advocates said the senior staff members' sudden concern about the Roe v. Wade reference fits a pattern of shifting language by Romney,.... ....Earlier this month he tried, unsuccessfully, to persuade the Legislature to use a $740,000 federal sex education grant to teach abstinence in schools, rather than continue the current...

During her CPAC Q&A session, Ann Coulter said: Question: "What do you think of Governor Romney's candidacy for the presidency?" Ann's reply:"I think he's probably our best candidate." "I think it is fair to say, and this is coming from someone who supported Pete DuPont, Alan Keyes, Pat Buchanan, Steve Forbes so it's not like I won't go for an underdog." "But I think we have to be serious about this. I think our choice is among Gingrich, Giuliani, McCain, and Romney. And Giuliani is very very liberal and when this country gets to the point (and I have a...

Bill Simon, Rudy Giuliani’s Director of Policy, has just appeared on Fox News’ “The Big Story with John Gibson†to discuss an alleged attack campaign that will perhaps begin shortly. Romney’s plan is to attack Rudy on several fronts: Rudy’s social viewsRudy’s ties to Bernard KerikRudy’s marriages Team Romney will also insinuate that Giuliani will ruin the “GOP brandâ€. In an age where every YouTube video is answered with another YouTube video, Mitt should pay heed to the old adage regarding those that live in glass houses.Mitt probably has no choice at this point. Rudy currently has between a...

With his campaign hitting a few speed bumps, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is hoping to use the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) that kicks off Thursday to regain the early buzz that won him support from the right.And Romney is paying dozens of college Republicans to lend him a hand.Romney, along with every other Republican presidential hopeful except Sen.

The Governor who had an iron spine by taking on the problems of the Big Dig without flinching, picks up this endorsement from the very popular and forceful ani-illegal immigration advocate Sherrif Joe Arpaio. Now, I wonder why Senator Lettuce, er.. McCain, didn't get this endorsement?

RUSH: This is unbelievable! How many wives has Romney had? He may be the one guy in the race that's only had one. Rudy's been divorced. McCain's been divorced. I don't know about some of the others, but why are they doing this? You might ask: Why this kind of a hit piece on Mitt Romney? Obviously they're afraid of the guy. They're trying to destroy him. This is just classic Drive-By Media stuff that is designed to cause problems for Romney... ...Let me explain the difference in this Mitt Romney business and the way Democrats are treated in this...

The James Hartline Report - On The Frontlines Of The Culture War - - Campaign 2008 Breaking News Update - The Darkest Party In Town: (JHReport) Confirming what many other national conservative sources have been saying for months, the James Hartline Report has now uncovered new evidence which indicates that the pro-life "make-over" of GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney is nothing more than a cover for an extremely radical and liberal philosophy. A San Diego Republican Party operative recently contacted the James Hartline Report with a list of influential Romney supporters who are hosting a March 16, 2007 San Diego...

BOSTON — Republican Mitt Romney, flush with cash from early fundraising, this week will air his first presidential campaign ad to introduce himself to voters in several early voting states. The 60-second spot describes the former Massachusetts governor as a "business legend" who "rescued the Olympics" and "turned around a Democratic state."Romney himself adds: "This is not a time for more talk and dithering in Washington. It's a time for action." The ad is set to air starting Wednesday in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Michigan and Florida. It is the first ad by a top-tier contender in a campaign...

In the world of movies and television shows, producers rely on the viewers' "willing suspension of disbelief" to draw and maintain large followings. Shows like "24" – arguably one of the greatest shows on TV today – employ this practice by which the audience willingly suppresses its natural desire to reject fanciful premises often used in these productions in order to be entertained by the show. In 1956, noted psychologist Leon Festinger coined the term "cognitive dissonance" to define the condition that results whenever an individual attempts to hold two incompatible, if not contradictory, thoughts at the same time even...

Presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Wednesday made a direct appeal to Republican fiscal conservatives, arguing that the president should veto any spending bill that exceeds its targets. Speaking to the Detroit Economic Club, the former Massachusetts governor addressed an issue that has riled the GOP base, who contend that the party's loss of power last November was based, in part, on excessive spending. "When our party has been in charge, we didn't distinguish ourselves on spending restraint," Romney said. "That's got to change — and it would in my administration." The one-term governor suggested giving Congress a spending target and...

Hat tip to Charles Mitchell over at Evangelicals for Mitt for linking to this report from "The Politico" blog where they astutely point out that Romney was far from "a liberal" in his 1994 race against Teddy Kennedy. Check out his campaign flyers from '94 . . . Front and BackBelow is a portion of the flyer with some of the specific issue stances: Looks like he ran a pretty conservative campaign back then to me! Basically, I agree with Charles about how more and more news stories and blog entries flat out say that Romney ran in '94 as...

Romney's go-to guy for conservatives By Scott Helman, Globe Staff | February 5, 2007 On Nov. 30, as Mitt Romney pitched his conservative message to a major Republican gathering in Miami, the nitty-gritty politicking of his presidential campaign was going on privately, 1,250 miles north. The setting was a dinner at Princeton University for leading conservative intellectuals and opinion-makers. At a corner table, a small group challenged Romney surrogate Peter G. Flaherty on his boss's evolution from moderate to conservative. Why, they pressed, should conservatives believe it's genuine? "They just launched right into him," said Princeton professor Robert P. George,...

Romney: It's politics over pulpit By THOMAS BURR February 4, 2007 In an old wooden general store on a backcountry New Hampshire highway, Mitt Romney said something that went unnoticed by the townspeople assembled to meet him. The fact that it didn't faze anyone is telling. Romney, in a crisp white shirt and tie, brushed past dust-coated cans and $8 bottles of syrup tapped from local maple trees during a quick campaign stop last week. The proprietors of Lowe's General Store, the fifth generation of the area's original mountain guides, wanted Romney to try their new Coke product. Romney happily...
