Romney's Feeling The Mitt-Mentum
MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Joined by his wife Ann and Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., Mitt Romney greeted early-bird primary voters this morning at Brookside Congregational Church.
"The fact that I'm in contention for the top spot is very encouraging to me," Romney said to a swarm of reporters. "And I think based on what I'm hearing — particularly over the last couple of days after that last debate — this is something I'm probably going to win."
The former Massachusetts governor arrived just after Mike Huckabee shook hands with voters outside the same precinct.
"I'm very pleased with the support I've been getting, particularly among undecided voters," Romney said. "We've been calling over the past couple of nights a lot of voters. I guess they said last night about 100,000 they called over the last day alone. They're breaking my way, so I'm full of high hopes and high expectations."
Romney said that even if he does not win here, his campaign will be ready to move onto Michigan — the next Republican primary state — likely with the highest number of total votes of any Republican candidate. Asked whether he thought the race would go through the big February 5th contests, Romney said that he thought it would.
"There are always possibilities that it could be resolved faster than that," Romney said. "But, you know, I don't think it's realistic to think I'll get landslides in all the remaining states, so that being the case, I think I'm all the way through February 5th."
