As we all know, things happen in California first. Romney now has the momentum and is leading in Cali. This will spread the rest of the country. Super Tuesday will not be the end. Then Romney can take McCain one on one the rest of the way. All true conservatives need to get on the bandwagon for Romney.

I just think it was so unfair that she got such little coverage and that Obama was on every channel you turned on. You certainly will never convince me that it was not a gender thing with her because every male news person on CNN never had anything positive to say about her. They bashed her every chance they could get. No wonder her husband had to pick up the slack and fight for her. The news media never gave her a chance. If she does win the nomination it won't be because of the media coverage...she strictly would have done it on her own. You go Hillary!!</description></item><item><title>Romney focuses on California</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/02/04/635412.aspx#637970</link><pubDate>Tue, 05 Feb 2008 00:33:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:637970</guid><dc:creator>Mark, Los Angeles, California</dc:creator><description>Romney has my vote this election. &amp;nbsp;Romney stands head and shoulders above any other candidate for three reasons: &amp;nbsp;1-He is a man of integrity and is trustworthy, 2-His ability to lead our country financially and militarily, 3-His defense of conservative values we hold dear, especially our families. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Vote Republican, Vote Romney!</description></item><item><title>Romney focuses on California</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/02/04/635412.aspx#637995</link><pubDate>Tue, 05 Feb 2008 00:43:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:637995</guid><dc:creator>Tony, Cincinnati, OH</dc:creator><description>*** ALERT ****&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tony Perkins and James Dobson of FRC (Family Research Council) value voters guide that I just received today clearly shows they are supporting Mike Huckabee for President.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Out of all the questions they asked of Republicans and Democrates, Mike Huckabee scored 100% in all questions.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It also shows that Mitt Romney's liberal positions are still showing through him in the questioning. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It says Mitt Romney supports human cloning and embryo destruction.

Mike Huckabee is too far behind to even have a chance. John McCain such a backwards candidate that he is basically a Democrat. He crosses the line between Republican and Democrat on every other issue. we can not have a president that cannot pick a side. McCain claim that he is the true conservative, but several of his stances are the opposite of conservative. One example is his plan to grant amnesty to the twelve million aliens in America. This is sure not conservative. Romney is a true conservative that is the one who will do what needs to be done in Washington and in The United States of America.

I've been listening to and reading about all of the Republican and Democratic candidates, and have found out that Mitt Romney is the only true voice of the Republican party and the best man to lead America. Romney is not perfect, but he has strong family values and morals, is very intelligent, and can face America's challenges and keep America strong and safe and keep alive the principles our country was founded on. I believe he sincerely cares about the future of the United States. The only thing the Democratic candidates care about is &amp;quot;making history.&amp;quot; This is not what America needs. They care nothing about our country, and their ideas are dangerous to our country, and their answers to America's challenges are completely wrong. Romney would be a very strong leader-the only Republican candidate that can stand up to the Democrats. He has had first hand experience in the business world, and would be the only candidate to really deal with the American people's biggest concern-the economy. McCain has had no experience in the economy, and he's definately not a true conservative. FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO VOTE FOR HUCKABEE, YOU ARE BASICALLY THROWING YOUR VOTE AWAY AND REALLY GIVING YOUR VOTE TO MCCAIN. PLEASE REALIZE THIS, AND VOTE FOR MITT ROMNEY-THE ONLY TRUE CONSERVATIVE LEADER. I'M PROUD TO GIVE MY VOTE TO MITT ROMNEY. GO ROMNEY!!!!</description></item><item><title>Romney focuses on California</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/02/04/635412.aspx#638335</link><pubDate>Tue, 05 Feb 2008 03:50:41 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:638335</guid><dc:creator>Ingrid Cole</dc:creator><description>Mitt Romney doesn't have a chance because McCain has had plenty of time to front load the primaries with cross-over Democratic voters. &amp;nbsp;The RNC needs to repair the primary process to require all states have closed 'Republican only' primary participants.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.azcentral.com/members/Blog/MTom/16202"&gt;http://www.azcentral.com/members/Blog/MTom/16202&lt;/a&gt;</description></item><item><title>Romney focuses on California</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/02/04/635412.aspx#638399</link><pubDate>Tue, 05 Feb 2008 04:39:25 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:638399</guid><dc:creator>Matthew F.</dc:creator><description>WE don't need a 4-star general wannabe in the White House who tries too hard to spin the old &amp;quot;war-on terror/radical Islamic extremism&amp;quot; card. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Use your head's people.
