Mitt Romney Coming Back To OC

Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney will be the special guest at a Bruce McPherson/Steve Poizner fundraiser this Monday, October 23 at The Center Club in Costa Mesa.

I'm not completely sold on Romney, but he's a very attractive candidate and is emerging as a frontrunner for the 2008 nomination.

Romney has no chance in the South. As a mormon, there is simply no way he can hope for a presidential nomination from a party so tightly tied to the Christian Right. He'd be an attractive VP but his wife is a liability; she granted an interview to the Boston Herald in Romney's 1994 race against Ted Kennedy that swung the election from a close Romney win to a Ted Kennedy blow out. Basically, the story was very unflattering to blue collar workers. Romney is pretty much hated in Massachusetts these days.

Nice spin, DanC. If I understand you correctly, the Democratic taling points on Romney are a) Southern Christians are too bigoted and narrow-minded to vote for a Mormon and b) his wife is snobby b---h.

Another breath of frssh air from the Party of Inclusion and Wimmen.

Religious bigotry has no place on this blog.

But it definitely has a place in the Democratic Party!

Guys, I could care less if the guy was wiccan. But the fact is he is Mormon and will have an uphill struggle in a national election has been written about in a number of publications. I personally believe one's faith is a private matter. And I never said his wife was a snobby bee-yatch; I was pretty matter of fact about the facts behind this. Romny was the GOP's best chance to knock off Ted Kennedy and he lost. I lived in Boston at the time and read the original work and remember the backlash.

gentlemen, given all the Dalati discussion onthis board, I'm amused by your comments on religious bigotry. Funny!
