Mitt Romney received a bust of Ronald Reagan, a surfboard emblazoned with his name, and a boisterous ovation this morning when he held a warehouse rally, where he tried to better position himself as conservatives' choice in the GOP presidential race.
Just beforehand, in a teleconference with the Register's editorial board, Romney acknowledged that John McCain is the frontrunner, and announced that he had just authorized a seven-figure buy of television ads in 20 states. California is one of 24 states voting for primary candidates on Tuesday, when the nomination of both parties may – or may not – be decided.
Romney was criticized for being weak on attacking McCain at Wednesday's debate. He seemed to take it up a notch at the rally, where hundreds of people packed into a furniture warehouse and a hundred or so more spilled into the adjacent alley.
"When the economy's in trouble, it's helpful to have a person who's actually had a job in the real economy," Romney said, a reference to his success in the business world. "I do understand the economy. It is my strong suit."

OC ping!
Go Mitt!
Romney needs to start using these McCain endorsements against him in states that have closed primaries.
Put up pictures of McCain cozying up to Hillary. McCain with Governor Amnesty Schwarzenegger. McCain with pro-partial birth abortion Giuliani. McCain with Crist, who restored voting rights to felons.
Hammer home McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, McCain-Kerry.
Point out that McCain almost jumped ship to the Democratic party in 2001.
It’s time to call a spade a spade.
Uh, “who” has criticized Romney’s not attacking McCain more earnestly? The article in the liberal OC Register doesn’t say...Does the writer mean “other politicos”? “Voters”?
While you're in California you should visit the Library Tower in LA and point out that the only reason that skyscraper is still standing is because we waterboarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
If John McKerry had his way, the site that building sits on would be a giant hole in the ground just like the World Trade Center.
You say that like there's a phenomenal choice out there. Tisn't.
please post the whole memo
It isn’t a memo, it is a statement letter to a “Gay Rights” group.
I am writing to thank the Log Cabin Club of Massachusetts for the advice and support you have given to me during my campaign for the U.S. Senate and to seek the Club’s formal endorsement of my election. The Log Cabin Club has played a vital role in reinvigorating the Republican Party in Massachusetts and your endorsement is important to me because it will provide further confirmation that my campaign and approach to government is consistent with the values and vision of government we share.
I am pleased to have had an opportunity to talk with you and to meet many of you personally during your September meeting. I learned a great deal from those discussions and the many thoughtful questions you posed. As a result of our discussions and other interactions with gay and lesbian voters across the state, I am more convinced than ever before that as we seek to establish full equality for Americas gay and lesbian citizens, I will provide more effective leadership than my opponent.
I am not unaware of my opponent’s considerable record in the area of civil rights, or the commitment of Massachusetts voters to the principle of equality for all Americans. For some voters it might be enough for me to simply match my opponent’s record in this area. But I believe we can and must do better. If we are to achieve the goals we share, we must make equality for gays and lesbians a mainstream concern. My opponent cannot do this. I can and will.
We have discussed a number of important issues such as the Federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which I have agreed to co-sponsor, and if possible broaden to include housing and credit, and the bill to create a federal panel to find ways to reduce gay and lesbian youth suicide, which I also support. One issue I want to clarify concerns President Clinton’s “don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t pursue” military policy. I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nation’s military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share.
As we begin the final phase of this campaign, I need your support more than ever. By working together, we will achieve the goals we share for Massachusetts and our Nation.
Sincerely,
W. Mitt Romney
“please post the whole memo”
It actually makes it worse doesn’t it?
Want to see the picture of Mitt Romney attending and contributing to Planned Parenthood at a private party? Until the picture recently surfaced Mitt’s cover story deflected most claims of the event.
he had just authorized a seven-figure buy of television ads in 20 states.

Yeah OC!!! Mitt’s getting my vote on Tuesday in LA.
Here is the post conversion (pro-life) Mitt Romney, the depth of his trauma is revealed in this 2005 video, taken months after his shattering self discovery of the horror he had promoted.
This shows the new inner man of the “pro-life” Romney.

Good grief
RINO Romney has spent his adult life boasting about being Mr Abortion-on-Demand
relax guy. I was only asking a polite favor and yes it makes it look worse. I would still rather have Romney over McCain!
