Choose Me

Mike Huckabee is starting to bury Mitt Romney in Iowa polls, and South Carolina isn't looking much better. To try to turn things around (cue the Van Halen), the Romney campaign is taking him on -- head on -- in a new Iowa spot called "Choice: The Record" ...

Script For "Choice: The Record" (TV:30):

GOVERNOR MITT ROMNEY: "I'm Mitt Romney and I approved this message."

ANNOUNCER: "Two former governors, two good family men.

"Both pro-life, both support a Constitutional amendment protecting traditional marriage.

"The difference?

"Mitt Romney stood up, and vetoed in-state tuition for illegal aliens, opposed driver's licenses for illegals.

"Mike Huckabee? Supported in-state tuition benefits for illegal immigrants.

"Huckabee even supported taxpayer-funded scholarships for illegal aliens.

"On immigration, the choice matters."
