(AP)  Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is cancelling his presidential campaign schedule in South Carolina this weekend after getting sick during a rush to raise money before the end of the month.

Romney had cancelled an appearance Tuesday in Bakersfield, California, to recuperate, but now he's going to stay in Utah for the weekend after a stop there on Friday.

Aides say Romney picked up a cold during a busy span that saw him address a Republican Leadership Conference in Michigan last weekend and then head to the West Coast for five days of public and private events.

The quarter closes Monday, and all the presidential candidates have been trying to fill their coffers before they release their fundraising totals the middle of next month.

Hope he feels better. We all love him and his blessed family. Truly one of a kind, worthy of emulation. He is our future president no matter what they say.

I have trouble trusting a mormans sound judgment not that self proclaiming christians are superior but a man that buys into the Joeseph Smith garbage gets no respect in this corner.

"Cold Temporarily Grounds Romney Campaign"

He is letting a little cold stop him from doing what he needs to do? Tsk,Tsk, that isn''t very good. If he was to become president, he wouldn''t be able to let a measly cold stop him from doing the things he needed to do.

Hillary Is Corrupt Like Her Husband They Just Cover up Good! With their corrupt corporate friends. This is why they are doing a media Blackout On Ron Paul because He Is For The People! He is The Only Person Running For President that Is Not part of the CFR!

The censored GQ report must see the light of day. Hopefully, the author will let a copy slip into the hands of some talk radio star or even Huffington, since she despises Hillary. Clearly, it is imperitive that talk radio and alternate media, along with Fox, publicize full details of the Clintons'' sexual crimes, along with details of Hillary''s stolen FBI files, the 100k commodity bribe, campaign finance and other corruptions involving Hillary, since polls show that corruption is at the top of voters'' concerns when voting.
