Well, Mitt, there is your strong statement.

Iowa rejected you, your support of George Bush, your support for the war in Iraq, and your hair.

"Anything but the hair!"

Where was Rudy? Is Rudy living in a cave now?

Well said Fred!!! Mitt, you should seriously consider flip flop again :-).

As soon as the sheep quit blindly following the so put sheppard and realize that he can't lead them to a strong nation, they'll realize it's time to Jump on the Romney Band wagon.

Romney is still "The" candidate.

Rudy is in the secure, undisclosed location Cheney used to use.

There were four big winners tonight:

1) Mike Huckabee

2) Barack Obama

3) The voters of Iowa. I, for one, welcome them to retain their first in the nation status for the 2012 primary season. They did a great job kicking the tires, taking the candidates for a test drive, and comparing notes with their neighbors.

4) The people of the United States. Now I realize this is just the opening event and there will probably be many surprises yet to come, candidates rising and falling. But for now, the totally undeserved dual coronation of Mitt Romney and Hillary Clinton has been avoided. Thank you Iowa!!

If that's it for the mormon and lousy ex-governor, then this has been a good day! If that's it also for flexible-on-stands Hillary, then this has been a wonderful day for the USA!

Are you kidding me?!

Romney did not lose in Iowa based on his political views, or his potential to be a great president. He lost because 60 percent of the Iowa causus goers in Iowa were evangelical or born again christians. (both of which have a history of hostility toward the mormon religion)

I agree with JD;
Romney is still "THE" candidate for president.

Huckabee will only lead this country down the wrong path. The american people need to study the candidates and make the right choice for america, not for your church.

Maybe I will end up voting in the Presidential election after all… many thanks to Iowa for sending the phony "frontrunner" politicians packing. Let us remember that Hollywood media antics have nothing to do with solid leaders in Washington. (and I think Mitts hair, as mentioned in recent days, is just a symptom of a very self centered, self indulgent, deceptive individual who basically only cares about he and his kind)

The only true candidate that stands for the American people, is Ron Paul.
Placing in the top five is a great start for the candidate who is constantly overlooked by big media.
The sheep are waking up, and realizing that its time for big money and big government to lose its control over the American people.
A true Christian, a true American, Congressman Paul, I salute you!
Looking forward to even more impressive showing in the next primaries.
Keep spreading the word America!

It is (and should be) difficult for those in Iowa to overlook the 'unusual' beliefs of Romney's Mormon church. Thankfully, those in Iowa have focused on Huckabee's genuineness instead of Romney's money.

Mitt…

You disappointed me with you negative campaign ads. Please stop attacking your opponents or, if you are nominated, you will securely gain the republican base but alienate yourself from the rest of the nation.

Please focus on you campaign theme and stay sincere…

Sell yourself…

Don't denigrate the men you might need to lien on for support if you do win the nomination

I certainly hope this doesn't become a religious race. Come on America! Wake up and look at the issues for Pete's sake. Vote for what the candidates stand for, not their religious affiliations!

There's one shepherd, and it isn't two-faced Mike Huckabee, no matter what he pretends. There's one super qualified candidate, and that isn't Huckabee either. I predict Mitt will get 'silver' in NH too, followed by 2nd or first place in every other state, where the other candidates scramble, and Mitt will still come out on top.

At least that's what I hope. It's certainly what we need.

Romney supporters. For months, I have to listen to your insults. Here to you. Your candidates outspent Mike Huckabee 10 to 1 if not 20 to 1 and you manage to lose to Mike Huckabee by 34% to 25%. It shows you that you cannot buy vote. Next New Hampshire. John McCain already lead Romney in the last 6 polls. Yes, in the last 6 polls, McCain either lead or tie to Romney. With this devastating Romney lost, John McCain will beat the crap out of him in New Hampshire. Romney's entire strategy is about winning Iowa and New Hampshire. Well, clearly Iowa is gone, and New Hampshire is just nearly impossible for you. Romney people. This is what you get. You get this by running negative ads against a good man like Huckabee and a honorable man like John McCain. This is what you get by insulting other supporters. We decided to vote for anyone but you.

Huckabee? Not really.

Thanks Iowa for a bonehead choice. You must be the same people making "Snoop Dogg - Fatherhood" a hit on MTV! I know there are people out there like you, I just don't know any personally!

Mitt, You gave it your best shot but it was not good enough. Time to retreat
and save the rest of your fortune. You were a one term Governor who used
that office as a stepping stone to the oval office, Unfortunately for you, the
people of Iowa are a little bit smarter than the people of Massachusetts.

James Skaggs,

Thank you. Exactly my point.

For other reader,

Mitt Romney lost the same way as Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton did not lose because she has the least supporters. She lost because people hate her the most. In the other case, all other supporters join to vote for Obama, that is why he won so decisively. Mitt Romney lost for the same reason. All the stupid negative ads over and over. Romney, it is exactly your offensive attacks which make Huckabee and McCain joins force. It is exactly your insincere approach make people hate you. I cannot wait for yourself to make the same mistake in New Hampshire. John McCain will beat the crap out of you.

James Skaggs

Who's calling Mitt's ads attacks? Let's look at the content here.

Mitt on McCain: He's a GOOD MAN, but we don't share his views legalizing illegal immigration. (Don't you remember everyone calling their congressmen about the issue? And getting it voted down because it was a bad idea? did we all change our minds?)

McCain on Mitt: He's a dishonest phony and not smart enough to deal with world issues. The same issues I've been sitting in for years.

MSM: Mitt Romney is super negative — (We want Ms. Clinton to pin the repubs with these issues herself!)

Bruce Johnson

If Mitt's goals were to stay rich, he wouldn't be trying to save the country.

Mitt, which special interest groups were funding you? I bet they are a bit disappointed. As a business man, you'll understand if thier cost benefit analysis guides them to direct their money to other candidates.

I do like Mr. Romney. He is far better for our country than John McCain who does
not give a darn about the middle class in this country. Mr Romney does care and
if we vote for McCain, we will reap what we sow. Don't give up, Mitt, it's a big country
and there are many Romney supporters who are waiting to be counted. All you
people around the country who have recently lost their job will be glad if Romney
is elected President but if you support John McCain, you will be unemployed for
many years while the job drain keeps on sending our good jobs to India and China.

Ask McCain what he will do to prevent the job drain and he will say he is against
protectionism, another word meaning he does not care a whit. He wants to
re-educate all those who have lost their jobs so they can find another job which
will be waiting to be filled by illegal aliens who McCain wants to give Medicare
and Social Security.

Ding Dong the witch is dead. Good bye Mr. Romney. Your witchcraft has failed. Jesus has won tonight. Praise Jesus.

anybody that stands up for the bush camp or anyone in it, has no place in the whitehouse, but you can always go to texas and hang around gw s ranch, maby you and gw can sit around and talk around the campfire? well if it doesnt mess up your hair!!

supernovia,

Do you even know what is the meaning of negative ads? Negative ads is ads talking about your opponents. Because in any political ads, talking of your opponents are always about bring them down. Mitt Romney has tons of negative ads and misleading ads. He said Condi Rice accused Huckabee's foreign policy is ludicrous. Condi Rice NEVER said Huckabee foreign policy is ludicrous. Mitt Romney lies!!! IN the case of McCain. McCain quoted a newspaper. The newspaper did publish that articles with exactly those words. McCain did not lie, nor did Huckabee.

This will be a battle to the end, about the huckster wull not be there at the end, Mitt and Rudy are the only ones that can beat the dems, do not be short sighted.

Funny how it won't be McCain kicking Huckabee's butt in NH…..because Huckabee will be a has been by then! Go Mitt, give your best, the radical evangelicals will be gone soon. Huckabee is not an honorable man. Please refrain from giving the guy undue praise.

supernova & debby

Mitt might be a good man, but he is in the right place at the wrong time. Our country
has a problem with his religion. That is not a valid point but in Iowa, it is the main
focus. Huckabee is a former Baptist minister and that reverberates in a bible state
like Iowa. He might do better in New Hampshire but the way the Mccain supporters
are talking, that is a lock for him. So, he will have to try to find votes in area's where
the people never heard of him. I do not think he will be successful regardless of
the size of his wallet.

Well I care about Jesus Christ and He still is on the throne. He said if anyone denies me before men, I will deny him before my Father. God looks at the heart of man. I will be looking for the candidate who won't sell out for his or her own gain and who, when making hard decisions about America's future knows how to go before God and seek wisdom and can say that to the public. That will be my candidate and hopefully our future President. I do think it is time for christians to take a stand for what they believe and not budge an inch in giving in to what has not been working and that is taking God out of everything for fear it offends someone. I am more concerned what the Lord thinks than any person.

It is high time America gets back to what the forefathers intended. It is a shame we have strayed so far from "IN GOD WE TRUST". I want someone who sincerely gets America back to the blessed country we used to be.

And there is nothing wrong with Christians. I cannot imagine what our country may have been like without them praying for our freedom and peace.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. God bless America.

Shelly,

Go say whatever you want. You are spreading lies. Have you seen the recent poll in NH? McCain beats Romney in 6 recent NH poll — I cannot lie this because anyone can look that up. McCain townhall meetings are packed to the point that news reporters cannot get in. Shelly. Mark my words, McCain will beat Romney, and he will lose more than 10 points. He will not only lose. He will lose bad.

Mitt,

I am rooting for you still.

For those of you who think you know Mitt and keep spouting negative comments….

Mitt is a good man. A father, grandfather and respected leader. He is a data based decision maker.

Performed piety and paid religion are not predictors of presidential performance.

If IA could not figure it out, I hope the rest of the US will… God bless America
p.s. (He loves all people regardless of religion)

Richard, if negative is talking about your opponents, who is your candidate?

Mitt may have been the only one who's well-sponsored campaign could afford to air the ads on TV (and not on a welfare ticket like Huckabee did) but ALL of them talk about each other.

The difference is that Mitt talks about their actions in office.

They talk about his teeth, his faith, his looks, his wealth, his evolution into a more conservative person. All things that are apparently worthy of disqualification from candidacy.

Richard, read my post….I said McCain won't be kicking HUCKABEES butt…..nothing about Romney….At least Romney will be a contender….Huckabee will be a has been.

A VOTE FOR HUCKABEE IS A VOTE FOR OBAMA/CLINTON. He cannot win. Maybe you evangelicals will open your eyes and quit being such religious bigots and see that. Vote for Huckabee… but don't cry when Hillary is your President. Congrats Iowa. I'm embarrassed for the Republican Party as a lot of Republicans are. No crying when a Democrat is in the Oval Office.

Finally, some evidence that Americans can still call a pile of "cow manure" when they see it:

1. I saw my father march with MLK : cow manure
2. I have been a hunter all my life: cow manure
3. The entire LDS doctrine: cow manure
list goes on…

Parker, are you saying that a likeable, Baptist former Arkansas governor could never be President?

A mormon who was a lousy governor can never get elected President, not in this day and age. Huckleberry will probably fall by the wayside too, hopefully, with his lackluster track record and abominable mistakes in pardoning felons. He'll remind too many people of Clinton.

Krassen,

Build up or tear down… looks like tear down…
Can you propose your candidate's strengths?

If Mitt doesn't get elected… it will be a US loss.

Romney lost because he attacks everybody else for the littlest things. He is always attacking others. It doesn't matter if his source is bad or if he is attacking just to attack, the fact is that is all he does. Im being honest when I say that I have not seen a single article headline involving Romney that he wasn't attacking somebody else. That is really annoying and also is the truth. This is a huge turnoff for people. We don't want to vote for your typical politician. That is all Romney is, your typical politician who attacks everyone else and doesn't bring much to the table.

Yes, the Lord loves all of us, no matter what we have done, no matter if we love Him back and no matter if Parker wants us not to vote for Huckabee and calls us religious bigots. It is not because of religion I would vote for anyone but it does matter who leads our country and holds the values our forefathers intended and don't think they meant for an atheist to be in the driver seat, if you know what I mean and and by the way, a christian who attends church regularly and is out there talking the talk and not walking the walk is no better off than the atheist in my opinion and you are right, don't want that.

How do you know Huckabee can't win? Just wondered.

It's amazing to me that so many evangelical Christians can't think for themselves. I've lived all over this country and the majority only know what their preachers tell them. No wonder they hate Mormons! It's one of the fastest growing religions in the world and the preachers are worried about losing their money (oops, I meant congregations!). "Vote against the Mormon" they say. "They're a cult" and have "weird beliefs" is all I hear coming from their hate filled mouths. Ironic that those are the same types of things the original Christians heard after Christ was crucified. Now "Christians" go to multi-million dollar churches, listen to preachers who make millions, and carry elitist attitudes. No wonder so many people can't stand Christians!
This win means very little for Huckabee as most Americans aren't radical Christians and are not swayed by Huckabees religious message. "Christians" aren't doing much to sway this voter! Romney has the better political track record and has the kind of values I want in a leader. He's not perfect, but not one cadidate is. I want somebody who has proved something in his past and politically and economically Romney has what it takes.

I am proud to be a Christian. I am proud to know my Lord Jesus Christ and I am going to vote for a Christian, period and don't apologize for it. If you want to know what is wrong with America, it is we left our first love and that is Christ.

If you want to be happy again, repent and come back to the only one who can really make a difference as it won't matter who we vote for president if we keep on the track we have been going. I believe that with all of my heart and am no bigot.
Just an ordinary person who has worked all my life and raised a family and still cares about folks (all of them) and can see where we are heading. We need God more than we ever have and we just keep kicking Him to the curb.

The Bible says the wisdom of man is foolishness to God. How small are we really. Think about that.

Shelly,

I thought you had a typo because your statement of McCain won't be kicking Huckabee butt is somewhat confusing. Are you thinking that Huckabee can beat McCain. That will be very strange. Huckabee has very low poll numbers in New Hampshire. McCain has an average 31% and Huckabee has an average 9%. How do you increase 20% in say 5 days. Especially, New Hampshire unlike Iowa is very secular state and has a very large independent voter pool (~30%). Huckabee does not have appeal to secular independent.

Supernovia,

Of course, Huckabee and McCain have negative ads on Romney, but Romney started it first, and threw them on TV screen like carpet bombing. Remember, Romney spent about 15:1 to Huckabee. Romney negative ads appear essentially 15 times more frequent on the TV screen. Basically, if you live in Iowa, you will see more than 15 attack ads from Romney, before you get to see 1 from Huckabee. Do you understand what that felt like to see the same attack ads over and over and over? McCain so called negative ads in on his own website, not even on Iowa TV, so most Iowa voters have not even see it, ok? As for Romney ads, they are not about facts. Rice NEVER said Huckabee foreign policy is ludicrous. That is a lie. When Huckabee attacked Romney, although personal, they are the truths. He quote some newspapers, and those newspapers did say that and those statements were not taken out of context. There is no lie. McCain same there too. The Iowa exist poll has shown why Iowa voters switched away from Romney. Most of them (not all) said he is just too negative. You need to understand. I do not define what negative ads is, nor do you. It is the all of us.

CNN did a very interesting poll (of Iowa voters entering the caucuses). Their results found, it seems, that most of the people who came out to vote at the republican caucuses were religious zealots who didn't care about the issues or the electability of the candidates.

They found the people who voted for Huckabee were mostly the poorer, more rural, bigoted right-wingers who didn't care about experience, electability, or foreign affairs, and who admitted to the pollsters that what mattered most is the candidate believes what they believe, and that they made their mind up a long time ago (at least a month ago) and nothing was going to change their mind. (Ie- they were closed minded.)

Meanwhile, Romney got the largest chunk of those who were mostly wealthy, urban moderates who cared about foreign affairs, experience, and electability, but who were not evangelicals or did not vote on someone based on his religious beliefs.

(Those who voted for Ron Paul were independents who hated Bush.
Those who voted for Fred Thompson, who came in 3rd, were mostly very conservative, old men.)

The thing that amused me was the stereotypes really match who the voters really are. Just shoot me, if when I get old, I want to vote for some cranky old man like Bob Dole!

Here is a breakdown of the CNN poll results that have led me to that conclusion:

2/3 of voters said the religious beliefs of the candidate mattered a great deal or somewhat to them. (60% of the voters said they were "born-again" or evangelical Christians, and the largest portion said they voted for Huck. Of the 40% who were not, the largest portion said they voted for Romney.)
The largest portion of voters who said the religious beliefs of the candidate matter a great deal voted for Huckabee (56%)
The largest portion of voters who said the religious beliefs of the candidate matter somewhat voted for Huckabee.
The largest portion of voters who said the religious beliefs of the candidate don't matter much voted for Romney.
The largest portion of voters who said the religious beliefs of the candidate don't matter at all voted for Romney (40%)
Only 1/5 of voters said experience and electability mattered most to them. The largest portion of them voted for Romney with 51% saying electability matters most voting for him.
4/5 of voters said the main quality they voted over was the candidate share's their values and says what he believes. Most of them voted for Huckabee.
The largest portion of voters who said foreign events were not important at all chose Huckabee. (38% vs. 14% for Romney)
The largest portion of voters who said foreign events were not too important chose Huckabee. (40% vs. 33% for Romney)
About the same portion (within 3% who said foreign events are very important voted for Huckabee and Romney. While the number of men who voted for Romney was within 3% of those who voted for Huckabee (26% vs. 29%) and about the same percentage of women voted for Romney (24%), 40% of all women voted for Huckabee.

About 90% of the voters said they were very or somewhat conservate. The largest portion of them voted for Huckabee.
The largest portion of moderates voted for Romney and McCain
The largest portion of voters making less than $15K/year, 30K/year, 50K/year, 75K/year, 100K/year voted for Huckabee.
The largest portion of voters making $100K/year or more voted for Romney.
About 2/3 of voters said they felt strongly about their candidate. The largest portion said they voted for Huckabee.
The largest portion of voters who decided over a month ago voted for Huckabee.
The largest portion of voters who decided last month voted for Huckabee.
The largest portion of voters who decided in the last 3 days who to vote for, voted for Romney.
The largest portion of voters who were rural voted for Huckabee.
The largest portion of voters who were urban voted for Romney.

Patty, I hate to justify your comment with a response, but let's think this through.

Patty, Atlanta GA > Ding Dong the witch is dead. Good bye Mr. Romney. Your witchcraft has failed.

If Romney practices witchcraft, what do you call the people who send out "christmas cards" dishonestly claiming to be sent from the Boston Temple? does your version of Jesus condone bearing false witness?

Amen, Jonathan. Perfect he's not, but better by far than the rest he is. Everyone else has great ideas. Romney has great ideas and knows how to implement them. Here's hoping America will pull through for Romney, so Romney can pull through for us.

This is a political race people, not a Religous Crusade!! It's about who can lead this country out of the Cesspool that the current moron in the Whitehouse has put us in. Faith should not be an issue, many of us are non-religous. We want someone who can put us back on the path to prosperity, and bring our Soldiers back home. This one caucus in a small cow pasture in the middle of the country doesn't decide anything………….how about foucusing on the issues?

Maybe the bum will get the message - we're not buying it.
The truth about what a "hard worker" this clown is will rise to the surface, and Mitt can take his millions and go back to his vacation mansion to make sure the Guatamalan gardeners are thatching his lawn.

This election day was Mitt's to lose, and he did so in a majestic showing. No Mitt, it has nothing to do with your religion. No one really cares. It has to do with you claiming to be a religious man of morals and convictions THEN putting up ads that tear down anyone and anything that gets in your way. This makes you appear to be someone (like Hillary) that will do or say anything to get elected.

When you lose in NH hopefully you will consider this last year as a lesson in humility and go on to be a better person for it. You do not look good when you point at others and say how bad they are. You look good by stating your beliefs clearly and showing what you can do for the country.

The Evangelicals have fallen for the bait. They have unwittingly become the destroyers of the Republican Party, by screwing the Mormon. Mormons and conservative Catholics have been offended by this country bumpkin and will not vote for him, if the Republican Party gives him the nod. Why would the large Mormon-inhabited areas of Utah, Arizona, Idaho, Nevada and Colorado vote for the bigot? And please, don't forget the massively Catholic areas of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticutt, New York, Maryland, etc. THE FRAGMENTATION OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS NOW BEGUN. Thanks a lot Dixie! The Democratic camp, (especially Hillary Clinton), is cackling insanely, as well as the liberal news media. They promoted Huckabee and propped him up well and it worked.
WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Idiots of Iowa. And South Carolina is next.

Romney's "silver" speech is about the worst speech ever made by a politician. He is all about "me, me, me". Romney's money can't buy him love. Romney has burned all his bridges behind him. He says that he was governor of the bluest state in the country - but that was the old Mitt, this new Mitt will never get a Democratic or Independent vote now.

His loss has nothing to do with his religion. He just is not a credible man, and he is a very mean person.

He is not a very fiscally conservative person. Look at the money he threw away in Iowa.

supernovia January 3, 2008 10:40 pm ET

If Mitt's goals were to stay rich, he wouldn't be trying to save the country.

If Mitt Romney really wanted to do something good for the USA, he'd leave.

Pat Howard January 3, 2008 10:21 pm ET

I certainly hope this doesn't become a religious race. Come on America! Wake up and look at the issues for Pete's sake. Vote for what the candidates stand for, not their religious affiliations!

And when people really look at what the candidates stand for, they'll wise up and vote Democratic.

I'm not for Romney or Huckleberry, but that first comment and some of the others are ignorant. this was one state. past presidents have lost in Iowa. Romney said himself he'd be happy with 1 or 2. Iowa won't make or break anyone. I just dislike the Huckleberry candidate most. he's bad for this country. more of us need to look into Dr. Ron Paul instead of these other puppets.

hey Richard- if you think Huckabee and McCain are good and honorable, then you have surely been easily misled. that's a joke. get your head out of the sand, sheep.

supernovia,

Mitt Romney is the first one to launch negative attack ads against both McCain and Huckabee, thus they attack back. Maybe you have been "conditioned" by Romney email letters, and telling you misleading information. What happened in Iowa is this. Romney outspent Huckabee 15:1 in Iowa, which mean if you live in Iowa, you would have bombarded by Romney attack ads over and over and over and over on the TV screen before you see a single one from Huckabee. Can you imagine how that would feel? Or that you come home from work and get 15 attack phone message from Romney before you even get one from Huckabee? Can you imagine that? McCain does not even have a TV ad in Iowa. Iowa people did not see any attack ads from McCain. In addition, Romney ads are filled with misleading lies, while Huckabee and McCain atlhought personal are not lies. Just to give you one example, Romney accused Huckabee foreign policy is bad and that Condi Rice has said Huckabee's policy as ludicrous. Condi Rice never said his policy is ludicrous. Romney attacks on McCain was also a lie. Huckabee and McCain on the other hand quote newspaper columns and endorsements. Those newspapers do exist, and the tests were not taken out of context at all. In short, Romney lied.

"Meanwhile, Romney got the largest chunk of those who were mostly wealthy, urban moderates who cared about foreign affairs, experience, and electability, but who were not evangelicals or did not vote on someone based on his religious beliefs."

Alan, thanks for posting the pointed breakdown, what that means is people whose brains are not stuffed with hay and can actually think about reasons and details on WHY to vote for someone OTHER THAN FAITH voted for Romney.

Gomer will be an afterthought real soon as the bible thumping charade doesn't play well in places that people actually think.

Not blaming the Democrats for their smart pick in Iowa, but the faith based nut job Republicans in Iowa.

And this is coming from a Conservative Christian, just NOT one that bases decisions on faith alone.

Ken,

Yes, you are very smart. Because you are able to come to conclusion without any evidence. Unfortunately, I need evidences to back my accusation. I am just that kind of uncertain people who need data and facts to back my points.

Ha! Romney has never fought for anything. He was Pro-Choice and then Pro-Life, but he is not passion about neither. Romney was for gay rights who ran left of Ted Kennedy before against gay rights. Romney was for gun control before he is a supporter for gun rights. Romney was a independent who do not want to be Reagan/Bush before he embrace Reagan/Bush. Romney was for the comprehensive immigration reform bill before he is againt it. Romney saw his father matched with MLK before he did not see it. Romney is a religious man who is too sacred to ever talk about his own religion, and he only gave a speech about his religion (slighty) when the his poll starts to drop Has the guy ever do something just for principle? Talk about his religion because it is the right thing to do, or not talk about religion because it is the right thing to do. Support abortion because it is the right thing to do, or against abortion because it is the right thing to do. I do not need another Clinton who tell me what I want to hear. I want someone disagree with me but disagree with me with a passion with fire and storm.

Every candidate in this race has a real passion except Romney. Huckabee passion in faith is crystal clear and his love for life is unquestionable. I am athesit and I am Pro-Choice, but I respect that passion. McCain experience in military and arms and national security is unquestionable by either party. His record of bipartisan corporation and forming coalition is proved over and over. His undying passion for the military troop surge dated back from 2003 when it was an popular idea. Duncan Hunter has a passion for controlling illegal immigration flow is undeniable. Guiliani need less to say.

Maybe you are the one who is easily misled. No republican candidate has took on more opposite stance than Romney. Hey, I do not mind people chance their minds. However, I have problem when people change their stance for winning instead of principle. Can you name one stance Romney has changed that actually made him less like to win? McCain clearly and honesty oppose ethanol subsidies in the tall corn state Iowa, and that is a great stance. Guiliani honesty proclaim he has been Pro-Choice and is still Pro-Choice. Huckabee is unashamed of the fact he supported illegal immigrant for education. These people take accountability. McCain said , " don't have a gun now, and I do not need a gun. I know how to use one." When McCain said he does not have a gun, I believe him. When he said he does not think he need a gun, I believe him. When he said he knows how to use a gun, I also believe him. However, when Romney said he is a hunter…. Wow… give me a break.

Tom Dedham, Mass,

Dream on. Next battle: New Hampshire. New Hampshire is a very secular state will a little population of religious rights. Romney is going to lose there too. I will be waiting to hear what you have to say about his lose there.

ok, CNN, please do not delete my rebuttal to Richard again. I mean, this is the USA and there is such a thing as freedom of speech, right? so I will condense for him and direct richard to the facts by letting him visit the below links. and Richard, you are so incorrect in assuming I support Mitt. no way. just because I dislike Huckabee I am for Mitt? what? misled again pal. I am not for most of these puppets of the international bankers and corporations. here's some facts you can deal with:
