| Mitt Romney Return to index of stories... |
I declare my intent to run for president of US…applause.:08 TRK1: When Mitt Romney entered the presidential race in February he portrayed himself as a political outsider. NATS: 02 milling with crowd/ Havenwood tape hi Roger… how are you.GOOD to meet you TRK2: On the campaign trail he talks about most Americans not knowing anything about him. 13:08:29 so, if you go to state of Montana…what do you think of Mitt Romney…90% will Say WHO? TRK3: Not so in NH, where Romney owns a home in Wolfeboro and was governor in the state next door. NATS: FILING TAPE /13:33 Romney: How are you nice to see you. TRK4: At 60, Romney is the same age his father was when HE ran for President. SOT: FILING TAPE / ROMNEY 18:52-:59 I'm also thrilled to be sitting in the seat I imagine my father sat in 40 old years ago when he declared his candidacy. TRK5: Former Michigan Governor George Romney sought the Republican nomination in 1968. NATS: Filing Tape: Romney: 19:12-:16 and I intend to follow his footsteps …to a point…and the point is I plan on winning. SOT: Interview Tape Beth Q 12:00:48 see any parallels with your dad? Not so much parallels…learned a lot from dad. 12:01:03- he was my hero-I grew up with a dad who had remarkable strength of character and ability to get things done. 12:01:11 TRK6: Getting things done says Romney is in his DNA. He's a successful businessman, politician, and credited with rescuing the 2002 Olympics. How does he define his candidacy? SOT: Filing Tape: ROMNEY/ 20:03 / I am a fiscal conservative and also a foreign policy conservative …and I don't pretend to be the most conservative in every single issue - I'm not but the house that Reagan built is the right house for America …and for our party as we look forward to 08 TRK7: Courting the conservative base is key to winning the Republican Primary. NATS: Romney campaign ads tape TRK8: Romney's campaign ADS tout his family values message. SOT: 12:01:37 Interview Tape Beth Q/ What do Nh voters not know about you…?? 12:01:52 I'm defined more by my family they mean more to me…daughters in law and grandchildren than anything else in my life and yet most people don't see that 12:02:01 TRK9: But, at campaign stops Romney continues to get grilled on issues such as gay marriage.

SOT: You Tube Debate tape/ Romney: 5:18 I don't know how many times I could tell it. I was wrong. All right I was effectively pro choice when I ran for office. If people in this country are looking for someone who never made a mistake on a policy issue and is not willing to admit that they are wrong well then they are going to have to find someone else. SOT: Interview tape: 12:055 why shouldn't voters question…Beth asks sincerity ques: 12:05:10- 12:05:19 people are welcomed to look at my sincerity of position. easy to do.gov next door for 4 years - you can look at my positions as Gov. 12:05:23 In politics your opponents are always trying to take a line or quote to see what he said there a gotcha game.but you can look at what I did TRK11: On Immigration - Romney wants to cut funding for sanctuary cities, secure borders and eliminate special benefits for illegal aliens.

Romney" Mayor you know better than that. 9:29 Are you suggesting mr mayor, offensive suggesting if home owner hire company, here with funny accent, is that what you're suggesting. TRK13: With the rhetoric heating up …is there a danger of a backlash? SOT; Romney Inteview: 12:10:55 -:07 going negative where you attack your opponent on personal basis people find distasteful but going to a point where you describe differences in policy that you and opponent have is something people expect. TRK18: Running on religious values has put Romney's Mormon faith under scrutiny. SOT: Lincoln Tape:15:15:36:/QUESTION ** What role does Mormonism and God play in daily life and how affect you as president? Romney? Probably plays important role prayer, thought and study and so forth 15:15: 48. TRK15: Uncomfortable with questions on his Mormon beliefs - Romney was reluctant to talk about his faith.

NATS: Romney Speech: 8:25 I do not define my candidacy by my religion. 8:31 a person should not be elected or rejected because of his faith 8:34 TRK16: In a Dec 6th speech - Romney tried to put questions about his faith to rest.
