Iowa GOP governor criticizing Romney
for not campaigning more in Iowa, and trying hard to win in the state.
Ummm, Mr. Governor, Iowa has a history of BSC voting. Iowa doesn't matter. Iowa is full of nuts. That's why Romney is not going to invest political capital in Iowa. |

Romney put a lot of eggs in the Iowa basket in 2008 and they rewarded Huckabee for his trouble. I didn't expect Romney would make that same mistake again, and the gov should not be surprised.

What I don't understand is why Romney and Hunstman skipped this meeting:
http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/politics/...t-Iowa-Forum-/ A faith forum in Iowa. Great chance to look mainstream, talk about Jesus, tear into the Evangelical vote. And they were invited. I guess the Romney campaign believed it would be potentially explosive?

I'm reminded of a video clip released by some radio station back in 2008 where Romney--off the air and without his knowledge--was recorded having a semi-heated discussion with a talk show host about religion. As I recall, he was emphatic that he not be perceived as the "Mormon candidate." He doesn't want religion to be an issue, and I don't blame him. Not because I'm ashamed of Mormonism, but because it has very little to do with governing the country and it's a distraction. I don't blame him for staying away.
