Everyone should see this. Mitt Romney shows that he is a real man and even if he doesn't win the election he still has his integrity. Something that neither McCain nor Huckabee can claim.

And the first winner is ....

The first winner of the the day has been declared ... or has he? West Virginia held their state convention today. Romney, Paul, and Huckabee showed up and spoke. Romney had the most support. The way this work is as follows. There were some 1206 delegates at the state convention and after the speeches they voted. The twist is that the winner has to get at least 50% of the vote. Well after the first vote Romney had 41% and Huckabee had 33% Paul had 10% and McCain had like 15%. Well Paul was eliminated and they had to vote again. Supposedly the McCain camp called their men in West Virginia and told them to switch their votes from McCain to Huckabee to stop Romney. So when the second votes were cast Huckabee won 52% to 48% so Romney lost by 4% to the combined voters of Huckabee and McCain. I guess this just goes to prove what Romney has been saying. A vote for Huckabee is a vote for McCain. McCain continues to show that he will resort to anything to secure the nomination, that includes very dirty politics. Many people continue to lash out against McCain. James Dobson, chairman of the Board of Focus on the Family said today "If McCain is the nominee we will have the worst choice for President in history, and I will not vote." This is just the latest of many influential people to "anti-endorse" McCain. Romney continues to have the most support among conservatives. Get out and vote for him! There is still a lot of Super Tuesday left! One good thing about Huckabee winning in West Virginia is that we all know Huckabee has no shot, so anywhere that McCain doesn't win is a good thing for Romney.

Super Tuesday Eve

As many of you know tomorrow is the most important day of voting during this entire election cycle so far. Voters in 21 states will cast their votes and try to get their candidate nominated. Obviously I am pushing for Mitt Romney. As important as tomorrow is, I don't believe that a nominee will be crowned on Super Tuesday. The states are split and no one will come away with the necessary amount of delegates to be the Republican party's nominee. There has been a public out lash against John McCain in the past few days. Many conservatives are starting to see him for who he is, which is, with all due respect to Senator McCain, a RINO (Republican in Name Only) While this may sound harsh, it is supported by his record, and his apparent willingness to turn his back on his fellow GOP'ites. (For more information on this go HERE or HERE)
This sudden push by conservatives to keep McCain from getting the nomination has been a positive thing for Mitt Romney. He has received some key endorsements and his numbers are going way up in some of the important polls. In One California poll Romney leads McCain 40-32, and that seems to be trend in the polls that are coming out in the last few days. Many Romney critics are saying that people are just voting for him to make sure McCain isn't the nominee and that he isn't really qualified. Part of this may be true, the fact that many are voting for Romney so McCain isn't the nominee for example, but I believe the main thing is that many conservative voters who probably weren't going to participate, but who would probably support Romney are exercising their civic duty and getting out to vote. This can be seen in Romney's landslide victory in Maine over the weekend, gaining over 50% of the vote compared to McCain's 22%.
On another note, Huckabee has continued with his incessant whining that Romney is suppressing votes by saying that a vote for Huckabee is a vote for McCain. Romney replied saying that its not called suppressing voters, its called politics. Huckabee had the audacity to suggest that Romney should drop out of the race, because it's a two man race between Huck and McCain. Romney responded that he respects Huckabee and would never suggest that he quit, and that everyone has the right to stay in as long as they want. Romney did note that Huckabee has had less than stellar results in nearly every state except for Iowa.
Anyway, I think its important to remember the real reasons to vote for Romney, they aren't just because we don't want McCain, its not just because conservative radio heads are telling us to, rather its because he has the experience and values to lead this country. One look at his Economic Stimulus Plan should be a stark reminder as to why he is the most qualified to lead this country out of the seemingly imminent recession that is coming. Remember, every vote counts. Spread the word. Its game time!

Phone calls for Romney!
Below are a couple of the videos that my sister took when Romney was in Denver yesterday. Apparently there were a lot more there than was expected!
Today I had the unique opportunity to go to a call center and make calls to republicans in Colorado. It was a great experience. The truth is I talked to a lot more answering machines than actual people. But the people that I did talk with all had one thing in common; they didn't want Hillary or Obama in the White House. There was one person I talked to who said he would be voting for McCain, when I asked him why, he said, "I don't really have a reason, I just like how he sounds." I talked to a couple of people who didn't even have to listen to why I was voting for Romney, because they were also voting for him. Those were the easy ones :) Most of those who were undecided were leaning towards Romney, but had a few questions. One of the things that a woman said to me was that she agreed with Romney in everything, but she didn't know if he could beat Barack or Hillary in the general election. She said that the LAST thing she wanted was Hillary or Obama in the White House. I explained to her some of my reasons for voting for Romney and why I think he can win in November, so today I'll dedicate this post to that.
Obviously it is an important decision. We are talking about who could be the next President of the United States. National polls right now are showing that both Hillary and Obama would beat Romney in the general election. These same national polls show McCain either close or beating both Hillary and Obama. So one might ask why I support Romney if he can't win in November. My answer ... at this point these polls are irrelevant. A quick look into past elections show that there have been candidates that showed very strongly in head to head polls early on in the election process, but ended up losing quite badly. Anyone remember Bob Dole? I don't really remember seeing as how I was still pretty young, but I have seen that he was ahead or close to Bill Clinton during that election cycle and by many he was considered the most "electable". Well we all know what happened there, Clinton beat Dole pretty handily. If this happened to Bob Dole, who was well liked and a nice guy, imagine what will happen to McCain! He is well liked by non-republicans and he hasn't proved himself as a nice guy, but he's "electable"... right ... Also one year ago Rudy Giuliani was ahead by a HUGE margin in all of the preliminary polling for Republican nominee, well Giuliani dropped out of the race this past week, showing just how in-accurate polling can be so far in advance.
If Romney is the nominee he will have the ability to beat Hillary or Obama. He is strong on more than one issue. He is strong on the Economy, he is strong on Illegal Immigration, he supports the war in Iraq and will continue fighting hard against the Jihadists who want to destroy our freedom. He has family values that are reflected in his own family, and he is a genuinely nice guy. McCain has turned me off and the general opinion that I have gotten from people is that they don't like his anger. McCain is strong on foreign policy, but that is about it. He has sided many times with democrats on many issues. For example McCain-Kennedy is a bill that McCain tried to push which would allow all illegal immigrants to stay in America by paying a fine and learning English, but thats not it, they would also be able to collect social security for the time that they were here illegally. He also participated in many bills with very liberal democrats. Romney is a man of integrity. When he was running for Governor of Massachusetts, he made 93 campaign promises, he wrote them down, and he marked them off as he fulfilled them. Out of the 93 promises that he made, he kept ALL 93 of them. He was able to make health care affordable and available for everyone by allowing the free market to work. Everyone that could afford health care was required to buy it. This caused there to be more competition and better prices, causing health care to be much more affordable.
When Mitt Romney became the CEO of the Olympic games in Salt Lake City the Olympics were in debt and in danger of being canceled all together, but when all was said in done after Romney had turned them around, the Olympics came away with a 100 million dollar profit. This goes to show that Romney has the ability to take broken things apart and put them together in a more efficient successful way. This is exactly what we need in Washington right now. One last thing regarding the Olympics; When Romney was CEO of the Olympics he forfeited his 825,000 dollar salary and donated it to charity, which is exactly what he did as governor of Massachusetts and has pledged to do as President of the United States. I would have liked to share all of that with the woman on the phone today, but time was limited so I only shared a few. Those are the reasons I am supporting Mitt Romney.

Mitt In Denver
Today my sister Katie texted me telling me that she was going to go to a Mitt Romney rally in Denver. To say the least I was a bit jealous. But my mom called me during it and I think I heard the word Economy and America a few times; that and a lot of cheers. Including "WE WANT MITT, WE WANT MITT" Well she took some videos and hopefully she can get those sent to me so I can post them here. But until I get those videos, I made a little video about Romney and his family values. This is one thing that I really like about Mitt. He talks about the importance of family values, and we see those values reflected in his own family. Enjoy!
