Romney in Review

Encouraging news out of New Hampshire for Mitt Romney. Zogby's new poll puts Romney tied with McCain at 25%. (Does anyone really think McCain is going to win this thing? Seriously?)

Pollster John Zogby: “Score this as a big week for Mitt Romney. These poll numbers, together with the small increase in Iowa and a huge fund–raising effort, puts him into the top tier and makes him a major player in the race for the GOP nomination. John McCain’s support stays steady and makes him a contender and gives him a boost in an otherwise lackluster week. Move over, Rudy. You’ve got a real race on your hands!”

Zogby's poll comes on the heals of a CNN poll that put Giuliani tied with McCain at 29% and Romney at 17%. I don't know which poll is accurate - probably neither - but both show Romney's star rising.

Romney in Review

Orson Scott Card writes an insightful article from an intellectual insider's point-of-view on Mitt Romney’s candidacy for President. Regarding Romney's potential influence in legitimizing the LDS Church and drawing additional converts to the fold, Card writes:

Mitt Romney isn't going to be giving out coupons -- "5% tithing and two smokes a day if you vote for Mitt."
