Concord Monitor: "Romney must be stopped"

With "an athletic build, ramrod posture, Reaganesque hair, a charismatic speaking style and a crisp dark suit" along with "a beautiful wife and family, a wildly successful business career and just enough executive government experience" Romney espouses "some old GOP bromides -- spending cuts and lower taxes -- plus some new positions for 2008: anti-immigrant rhetoric and a focus on faith," the editorial says.
But Romney's record makes him "a disquieting figure who sure looks like the next president and most surely must be stopped," the editorial added.

"When New Hampshire partisans are asked to defend the state's first-in-the-nation primary, we talk about our ability to see the candidates up close, ask tough questions and see through the baloney," the editorial said. "If a candidate is a phony, we assure ourselves and the rest of the world, we'll know it.
"Mitt Romney is such a candidate. New Hampshire Republicans and independents must vote no."

I laugh every time I see liberals call it "anti-immigrant" or "anti-immigration", as if conservatives don't want to let anyone into the country.

It isn't a surprise they don't like him. It is a surprise they published an editorial AGAINST him and not for anyone else.

That is a cheap move

That's an excellent point. Most papers tend to endorse a candidate.

Very frustrating that Huckabee continues to rise in the polls by playing the religious prejudice card. He is an unelectable candidate to at least 2/3's of the country. Hard right Republican people are voting for him because he is a good Baptist preacher and nows how to motivate people on religious prejudice, fanning the flames of intolerance. His main gains came from using abortion against Guliani, and anti-Mormon insinuations against Romney. Not a good basis to pick a President. Please Iowa, send Huckabee back to Arkansas till he can understand that his narrow view of American religious life and his way of playing religious belief against others is not expansive enough to preside over the greatest nation on earth. I know Huckabee's parishioners are praying hard for his election; I'm praying hard:

"Please, not another hypocrite from Arkansas in the White House!"

Tolerance and compassion for every American and their beliefs is an excellent Presidential quality; I've see an extremely low level of this essential attribute from Mr. Huckabee and I cannot support him. Please early voting states--don't be misled by this man. Make sure your vote is not on religious grounds, but simply on whether Huckabee is the best man for the job. Imagine Huckabee is Mormon, or Romney is Baptist, who is best for the job then? Do it by what they have done--their deeds, not their beliefs. That's the way to decide this, take religion out of it. Huckabee talks like he loves our Savior but he sure doesn't follow His precepts. We need someone who encourages our great American religious diversity of belief, not someone who uses that diversity negatively to win the Presidency.
