Simply outstanding, Rame!!! Terrific and interesting report. Thank you for all your hard work on Governor's Romney's behalf and for all the hardwork on your report. So well done! : )

There is probably much truth to identity politics. I heard Rush's explanation about it, and agree Huck used it quite effectively. For me it isn't always the overriding factor, but there are some things about Romney with which I absolutely identify, at a personal level, most notably, his strong belief in family.

"Afterall, Reagan came in second in Iowa in 1980."

Quite a comforting thought.

That was great!!! Thank you, thank you. I really wish I could have been there. Any news on making Idaho first in the nation so I could finally have some say in this political process of ours? ;-)

Thanks for the compliment. Maybe too many people do look for the “just like me” type of candidate. Mike Huckabee had some good luck on this one. He can’t count on that luck for 49 more states. Mitt Romney is the only candidate running a true fifty-state campaign. I hope the primary voters realize that the president will have to be president of all 50 states.

Frankly I couldn’t stomach either one, add in both Romney and McCain while we’re at it..

Thanks Hava, but I didn’t do all the work, Rameumptom did. I just agreed, and gave my 2 cents worth.

Hey, I just heard from my Romney supporter cousins in Waterloo about caucus night. Here's what they had to say (interesting)....

They held the Republican Caucus in a middle school auditorium that maybe holds 1,000 people, for all of Waterloo! --that's 55,000 people. About 5,000 showed up so 4,000 couldn't get in and they were probably Romney voters! What a mess. Some waited in traffic 50 mins and they said to heck with it and went home.

Huckabee is all of those with the exception of the abortion issue. I think when that is taken into consideration, Guilani comes out on top because he was much tougher on crime and I think he would be better at executing the WOT than squishy Huckabee.

Guilani is unacceptable because of :Abortion, Gun Grabbing, and sodomy, he’s also NOT a true fiscal conservative! HE’s better seen as a democrat or RINO!~
