Statement on the Presidential Election
John McCain is a decent and honorable man. He, too, will go down in history as a statesman and a patriot. I am proud to call him my friend. He carried the banner of the Republican Party in a politically challenging year. I look forward to working with Senator McCain, Governor Palin and many other Republican leaders in rebuilding the party nationally so that it can once again contribute to the great strength of our country. Together we can meet the challenges of a new century and leave our children and grandchildren with an

Romney Fly-Around: Day 3
One day, four states. When you’re going through two time zones and add in a daylight savings clock change, it can get pretty confusing. Just ask Ron Kaufman. As we stood waiting with our bags in the lobby of the Kansas City Hyatt, waiting to depart, a puzzled Kaufman was returning from his morning jog. He broke all human speed records by showering, packing and getting back downstairs in 5 minutes.

Every place we touched down, Romney took the time to remind voters of the stark differences between McCain and Obama on taxes, spending and experience, especially as it relates to national security.

Romney Fly-Around: Day 2
We met our drivers early this morning at the Courtyard Marriott in
Last night, after getting in late from
Romney made note of the fact that New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, an Obama adviser, told a radio station that Obama wouldn’t raise taxes on people making less than $120,000. “As a senator, Barack Obama voted to raise taxes on people making more than $42,000. But as a candidate, he said he wouldn’t raise taxes on folks making less than $250,000, then he later said it was $200,000. Last week, Joe Biden said the number was $150,000, and now your own governor, Bill Richardson, said it’s actually $120,000,” Romney said, to hoots and laughs. “Eventually, they’ll get it down to $42,000.”

Romney on Fly-Around for McCain-Palin
It’s Halloween morning, and Governor Romney got started on a five-day eight state tour for the McCain-Palin ticket in Nevada, rallying door-to-door canvassers in the Las Vegas suburb of Henderson and meeting with phone bank volunteers at the state party headquarters in Summerlin.

Back to New Hampshire
It's been a while since we've been able to go campaigning up in the
When we arrived at the first stop we met with Jeb Bradley, running for Congress and Doug Kruse, running for state Senate. Setting the whole thing up was a familiar face from New Hampshire, Tom Rath, who has replaced the now-fallen Old Man of the Mountain as the most durable New Hampshire symbol. Also with us: Jim Merrill, our favorite hot-shot political mover and shaker. We got to meet the employees and tour the factory of a small business called "Oven Poppers." Oven Poppers are different flavored seafood meals that can be, you guessed it, popped in the oven. They are made, packaged and shipped right in
At the nearby Cactus Jack's restaurant, we got to meet up with our old friend Senator Judd Gregg. As a staunch fiscal conservative and flinty leader in these tough economic times, he and the Governor had a lot to talk about. They went table to table meeting folks, stealing nachos and encouraging people to vote for Bradley and Kruse.
We said goodbye to Senator Gregg and hello to Jennifer Horn. She's a local radio host who is running for Congress in a tough race. We set up an employee address at "New England Small Tube Co." After walking around the shop floor, Jennifer and the Governor addressed the assembled employees. Each one seemed to have brought his or own Halloween-themed baked good. As if we needed something else to eat, we shot across the street to say hi to folks and grab a slice or two at Romano's Pizza.

Romney Joins McCain for Economic Roundtable
John McCain led an economic roundtable this morning at the Renaissance Hotel in
Afterward, the group attended an event in front of 250 supporters in which McCain kicked off the final week before the election by aggressively making the case that he can get the economy moving again.
Romney started the morning making appearances at the request of the campaign on the CBS Early Show, MSNBC’s Morning Joe and Fox and Friends. Romney’s message was that John McCain is a formidable candidate, and that it would be a mistake to count him out because he “knows how to fight all the way to the finish.”

On The Road for GOP Candidates
Late night and an early morning! Up and at 'em. We have three good Republicans to campaign for today. We'll see
It’s a chilly day in
Governor Romney met with candidate John Gard, running in
After a bustling press conference where John Gard described the importance of keeping taxes low for people who live in the blue-collar battleground district, the pair spoke to a packed breakfast of 175 folks, then chowed down on bacon and eggs. Then, we’re off to
It’s raining in
Rushing to the airport, we stopped at "Pats Pig BBQ" for some pulled pork. At the counter, the proprietor says to the Governor, "Do you know you have a twin? You probably get that all the time," and yells into the kitchen, "Two pulled pork sammies with hot sauce for a guy out here that looks just like Romney!" While the Governor went to get forks, I clued her in. Her face turned redder than the sauce.
