3 Days From The Caucuses, Romney Likes Where He Stands
(CBS)
CLINTON, IOWA -- Standing on a chair and dressed in a blue sweater and khakis, Mitt Romney reflected on how far his campaign has come since he first started stumping in Iowa.
“When I got going in this campaign, I think five or six percent of folks in Iowa had heard of me and thought they might support me, and now it looks like I’m in a pretty good position to take this whole thing,” Romney said in front of a crowd of about 70 people at Happy Joe’s restaurant.
While Romney’s message was entirely positive this morning, the former Massachusetts governor has been engaged in a harsh battle over the airwaves with his main opponent in Iowa, Mike Huckabee.
The Romney campaign says it will release another ad today, just three days before the Iowa caucuses kick off the 2008 voting season. This time, the campaign says, the message will be entirely positive.
“It’s been a real effort, and we’re gonna have a real celebration on Thursday evening,” Romney said.

The housing report, which was weaker than economists had expected, also bolstered the case for more Federal Reserve interest rate cuts in 2008. Earlier this week, the S&P/Case-Shiller index showed a record decline in U.S. home prices in October.
This is what''s happening to YOUR house. All the ''money'' and ''equity'' you thought you had saved - eliminated! The equity through falling house prices - and the money because we are DEBASING OUR CURRENCY. That low fed rate you''re reading about gets created by printing money and lending it to people. With more money, the money YOU have is worth LESS. So your money is worth less and your property is worth less - where can you turn to keep ahead of inflation? I think you BETTER turn to Dr. Paul. He''s the ONLY one running that has a HOPE of being able to deal with this.

5. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R-NY): Giuliani came under fire in late 2007
6. Governor Mike Huckabee (R-AR): Governor Huckabee enjoyed a meteoric rise in the polls in December 2007,
which prompted a more thorough review of his ethics record. According to The Associated Press: %u201C[Huckabee%u2019s]
career has also been colored by 14 ethics complaints and a volley of questions about his integrity, ranging from his management of campaign cash to his use of a nonprofit organization to subsidize his income to his destruction of state computer files on his way out of the governor%u2019s office.%u201D And what was Governor Huckabee%u2019s response to these ethics allegations? Rather than cooperating with investigators, Huckabee sued the state ethics commission twice and
attempted to shut the ethics process down.

No Romney or McCain on this lists, so who? (Huckster) is doing just what the above says- whining, and blocking his own record from scrutiny, and those who vote for him (Huckster-zombies)have their heads in the sand.

- Iowa voters are very smart folks, they admire those with integrity and honesty. Iowa voters trust Mike Huckabee because he is consistently displaying those values.

See all 12 CommentsIowa voters have honor and integrity, they will not allow Mitt Romney on the other hand to buy them with his gobs of personal money. Iowans can see right thru Mitt Romney and how phony he is.
If the New Hampshire newspaper (near the state Mitt Romney is from) calls him a phony too, then Mitt Romney is in serious trouble. Both the Heartland and Coast to Coast know he is a phony.
If you havent had the chance to read an excellent book yet, I totally recommend "From Hope to Higher Ground" that Mike Huckabee wrote. It is a super inspiring book. Mike is like no other candidate out there, he is truly the people''s president. He is determined to bring this country up. What a great role model for society.
Mike Huckabee is the most level headed, balanced person out there. He is at the top of his game, ready to lead all to higher ground.
