He didn't even get the couplet right either and most things can look wrong without their true and full context! If you want to know what members of The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints believe- just ask one, (who ISN'T running for President!- and so should not try to be a spokesman for his personal religious beliefs) or go to Mormon.org or LDS.org. How frustrating, because of being in this role, to not be able defend his faith! GOOOOOO MITT!!! About the REST of the Story... on the theology- what does it mean that we are to become perfect like our Father in Heaven? What if we COULD do that in this life (as we are to do the best we can to reach that goal?) What does it mean that we are to co-inherit with Jesus Christ? What did Jesus mean, that he did nothing but what he had seen his Father do? Jesus became a mortal man- right? Then what would that mean that God the Father did? I am so PLEASED that we finally have a creditable candidate for the Presidency- Bush was the best choice we had in the last election. I don't know WHAT I will do now that McCain and Huckabee have shown their true colors! I had thought either of them might be a good running mate for Romney. NOT NOW! God bless America, we sure need it and Iowa especially!!! What a responsibility to have! to Ed Green and those who read his bit of "Morman" theology.

Unfortunately many Americans lack the capacity to think for themselves. A Hillary presidency would be so politically bogged down, virtually nothing important would get done in Congress. With a Romney presidency, I shudder to think about it. Sorry, Mormons do have some strange beliefs derived from Judo-Christian principles, from magically underwear to God being a man who ascended into divinity and that Mormon men are capable of becoming gods.

I feel Hillary or Edwards have the best chances.Clearly Obama wont be able to win his foreign policy experience is pityful. His speach about bombing terrorists in pakistan a few months ago is a perfect example. Pakistan is a Nuclear armed Allie. Hello That would be a diplomatic desaster. Also his claim of spending a couple of years in the philippines when he was 10 gave him a worldly view is a joke.

Please- anyone who wants to know what Mormons believe- go to LDS.org or Mormon.org Also to you others who would fault Romney for NOT being the spokesman for his religion -- it seems you have lost the role a president is to fulfill. It is NOT his job to explain his faith, besides those who WANT to believe evil will "find" it where it did NOT exist- as they BRING it with them. Even the Bible though, says it is by their "fruits" that we are to judge- look at the VALUES and his family, the people who have worked for him etc. The presidents job is to LEAD the country- for safety for economy for freedom, the public welfare etc! To uphold the Constitution! I think personally, he is our representative to the WORLD, and I think an honest, hardworking family man, with integrity and intelligence enough to do what he has done in the business world, to turn around companies can help TURN AROUND the nose dive of the USA.

Both are afraid and trembling because they know MITT ROMNEY has all the capabilities and supports, the BRAIN and the MONEY....Mitt knows we need a good leader in America and that he can turn it around for good.

But if you read thru the threads here, Hillary and Obama focus on EVERYTING but their past experience – maybe that's because neither has the kind of experience that shows leadership. Hillary and Obama are campaigning on all kind of negativity and useless information while candidates such as Duncan Hunter and Mitt Romney and Mayor Guiliani have success already on their side.

He's trying to buy the Presidency. If the other campaigns had that kind of funds, maybe they would be running "comparison" ads about Mitt, showing that Boston's two daily newspapers as well as most NH newspapers have endorsed McCain. The daily newspapers of NH's two biggest cities (Concord and Manchester) explicitly rejected Romney as being a phony who changes his political beliefs (on abortion, gun control, stem cell research, gay marriage, stance on illegal immigrants, stance on Bush's 2001 tax cuts) for political convenience. This would matter to Iowans because Boston and NH newspapers observed Mitt every day, up close when he was one-term governor of Massachusetts, the only time he held political office. I understand he's billing that as an amazing "turnaround", well, I can tell you that Massachusetts residents such as myself don't see it that way. We saw a man elected based on big promises to fix the system (I personally voted for him), but after he was given the car keys he pretty much turned his back on the job. Spent much of his time out of state making useful friends for his career, while he neglecting the criminal justice system (the Daniel Tavares case showed how broken that system was) and the $15 billion Big Dig project (a tunnel ceiling collapsed and killed a driver during his watch, b/c of shoddy design and construction work that his administration was supposed to be monitoring). Once he left office he started bashing Massachusetts at every opportunity, presumably as a way of bonding with red state voters. Incidentally, some of those papers including the Boston Herald and Manchester Union Leader, are conservative with Republican editorial pages. They don't like Mitt because they think he's phony, not because they don't think he can win.

If 1,000 persons show up and pack full a particular precinct to caucus and only 50 show up at another precinct to caucus, the total votes at each precinct/caucus site produce the same number of delegates to the next level where convention delegates are awarded. So a rural caucus site may only draw 50 people compared to a caucus site in Des Moines that could draw 400. Yet, each caucus precinct/site has the same voting power. So the pollsters percentages may not reflect the outcome due to the distortion of the one-person, one-vote caucus procedure. Another factor to keep in mind is where will the votes of those candidates (such as Richardson, Biden, Kucinich, Dodd) who do not reach the 15% viability requirement go to? The potential for a skewed outcome differing from the raw numbers is quite possible. I sense that a candidate could actually be down 5-6 points in the polling, but could still end up "winning" on caucus night if he or she "sweeps" the Richardson, Biden, Kucinich, Dodd vote which combined is now around 12%.

The media needs to stand up to right wing cry babies and report the facts, or we are going to wind up with some deviant as president.

I was looking for a republican who was pro environment but I'll never vote for someone who is pen palls with rapist and killers.

Way to go Romney.

Mitt a blend of JFK and Reagan? Please, you make me sick. This guy has an ego that wan't stop. 50----60---70 million of his own money to get as far as he has. I can't even imagine this guy and his spoiled little family in the Oval Office...yuck! Hey Allen Ridge......NO WAY. Mitt a blend of JFK and Reagan? Please, you make me sick.

Although Huckabee has a likeable demeanor, I have not been able to understand how people can support him in view of his lax attitude towards criminals, his propensity to spend, and that fact that he does not stay current on his issues. He may be witty, but he does not seem to have the discipline, preparation, or conservative credentials to be a good president. Say what you want to about Romney, this guy has ran the most disciplined and prepared campaign of any of the candidates. He also shows an incredible depth of knowledge on almost all the issues. He has a gold-plated resume in government, the private sector, and the volunteer sector. This guy has definitely prepared himself and deserves to be president. My vote is for Romney.
