Comments on: Romney Takes Largest Cut Of Wyo. Delegates

Former Mass. Gov. Wins 8 Of 12 Delegates In State Largely Ignored By Candidates

Huckabee is not going to travel well outside evangelical strongholds. Huckabee winning in Iowa was like a Romney win in Utah. Maybe moreso since the Mormon church doesn''t allow campaigning through the church congregations and doesn''t endorse candidates.

Huckabee did not do well with non-evangelicals in Iowa. Romney got 3 votes for every 1 vote Huckabee got from non-evangelcals in Iowa. That doesn''t bode well for a Huckabee in a general election.

Making his first bid for elected office, Romney boasted that he had helped create more than 10,000 jobs at companies he had retooled. But Kennedy painted him as someone "who puts profits over people," and an ugly labor dispute soon helped sink Romney''s campaign.

Bain Capital had bought a controlling interest in a paper products company called Ampad for $5 million in 1992. Two years later, after Ampad bought a factory in Marion, Ind., the new management team dismissed about 200 workers, slashed salaries and benefits, and hired strikebreakers after the union called a walkout.

"We were just fired," Randy Johnson, a former worker and union officer at the Marion plant, recalled in a telephone interview. "They came in and said, ''You''re all fired. If you want to work for us, here''s an application.'' We had insurance until the end of the week. That was it. It was brutal."

In October 1994, Johnson and other striking workers drove to Massachusetts to protest Romney''s Senate campaign. "We chased him everywhere," Johnson recalled. "He took good jobs with benefits, and created low-wage, part-time, no-benefit jobs. That''s what he was creating with his investments."

Mitt sure does present well -- you''d never guess by looking at him that he''s a member of a cult founded by a nutcase about 200 years ago. It just goes to show, religious people will believe ANYTHING. As for Mitt, he''s either a blatant liar or a lunatic. Take your pick.

Mitt wins Y.O. Ming. Wow.
Guess the women vote put him over the top.

Wyoming, the state where women grow hair on their chest.

As they say:
"As goes Wyoming so go the buffalo.

Romney Wins Wyoming!!!

Or how about Larry Craig? I hear he can really hum a tune...or maybe just deliver a hummer.

[gce65]

Mitt has Devo plastic hair like Reagan. But who will be his evil Darth Vader, like Cheney is to Bush? How about Giuliani...or Trent Lott...or one of those principals from the Reagan/Bush Admin now in the Carlyle Group who are making worldwide war for profit and oil?

Mitt Romney is light years ahead of the other candidates. We are not voting for ''Best Bass Player'' or ''Mr. Congeniality''. We are voting for President of the United States of America. We need someone in the White House with a brain and a plan, and Mitt Romney is the man. Way to go Wyoming!! They are smart enough to recognize a winner when they see one. Way to go Mitt!! Gold medal Mitt!!!

t is good that Mitt took the lead. Anyone but the preacher (Huckabee). We have had enough twisted politics to last us a life time and then some.

Huh, that is interesting, because Mitt has let everyone know just how integral religion is to freedom. But he has ignored the entire history of civilization that clearly illustrates that religion does just fine without freedom.

I think you are really upset that the Huckster has called Rush Limbaugh part of the DC chattering class and has made mention of a shadow economy for the elite.

I an really in favor of Edwards. I''m hoping that Mitt and Huckabee split the ticket to a point the Edwards wins.

Wyoming is just above Utah so, I''m not surprised that Romney won there.
