Take a tour.

Oodles?

Romney's army of perky robots will do very well in Iowa- like orange hat well.

It's a little ironic that a guy who's campaign plan highlighted "Enmity toward France" to end his video with the word "fin."

Is this the place where they store all of Mitt's original ideas, and those positions he has not yet changed for the campaign or is it where he stores all of his firearms? or his trophies from his life long hunting avocation? Maybe its for all of his vetoes that made a difference in MA? Maybe it’s for the taxpayer money he recovered from the Big Dig money pit of his? Lots of room there maybe if they spent less money they could afford a decent candidate with a heart felt belief system!

possibly the lamest video i've ever had recommended to me.

first of all that was not an internal memo... it was prepaired by an outside consultant...

Since religious beliefs are now part of the Presidential campaign, and since Huckabee, like Falwell, is now referring to and using the 177-year-old, British-invented "rapture" belief as the time-tested "glue" that can unite splintered, fighting fundies and evangelicals into victorious voting blocs, Romney can score big if he or his brain trust can widely expose the same unorthodox prophetic fantasy that didn't take over American evangelicals before 1909 and which was never part of any Christian theology or organized church before 1830 - especially since the vocal pro-rapturists have always been just as vocally anti-Mormon! It's known theologically as the "pre-tribulation rapture" and it's a secret coming of Christ that reportedly occurs several years before the Second Coming and most assuredly before (note the "pre") the "ghastly" seven-year "tribulation" of the "Antichrist" which ends at the same Second Coming. Since 1830, the big drawing card for Christians is the "hope" that they will be lifted bodily from earth to heaven just before the tribulation which promoters often picture as something equal to, if not worse than, Hell itself! But the same escapist doctrine has enough holes in it to drive a fleet of trucks through - and it has never been accepted by Catholics, mainline Protestants, Orthodox branches, or the most scholarly Greek New Testament scholars. For more info, Google "pretribulation [or pretrib] rapture" or "pretribulation history." The acknowledged authority on its history with eight books is historian Dave MacPherson, a Utah resident, who during the past 35 years has uncovered more of the long covered up "rapture" documents in British libraries and received more kudos from other scholars than anyone else.

As a Canadian, LDS, and supporter of m romney who has followed your campain closely I am submitting a couple of suggestions.

I think offering support to the youth college education would help your campaign.

Also I noticed Huckubee recently pointed out, possibly for the strong Baptist group, that you supported same sex marriage. Making it clear that you do not take this stand but support traditional family values opposing abortion might be helpful.
Hope this is helpful.
