Romney Hits Seven Events To Seal Deal
CLIVE, Iowa -- With three new polls out showing three different results, even candidates can get confused. "The polls just don't know what to do," Mitt Romney mused at a house party today. "There's one poll this morning that says I'm behind by a few points. There's another poll that says I'm ahead by a few points. And then the poll that's probably the most accurate says it's all tied up."

Local radio host Mac McKoy and wife C.J. hosted Romney and nearly a hundred others. Calling other Republicans "yesterday's news," McKoy said he backed Romney because he is the only candidate who will help lay a foundation for McKoy's nine year old grandson. "It's time to bring peace to this world, and I think Mitt Romney's the kind of guy that can get that done."
McKoy told reporters that religion played a part in his choice to back Romney. In this case, though, McKoy's opinion is one the Romney camp has to hope others share. "I think Mitt Romney's one of the only few candidates that will never, ever let his religion make a difference in what he does in Washington."
"Mitt Romney said it's not an issue. And that's one of the reasons I value his values," McKoy said. "People who make it about religion are bigots. I know that's a harsh statement but I'll make that statement."
Minutes later, Romney arrived in a frigid wind with Craig, his youngest son, daughter-in-law Mary and their son, Parker. After the speech, Parker made a dash for the McKoy's seemingly long-suffering dog, Sinatra. Thanks to Mary Romney's timely intervention, both Parker and the pooch were unscathed.
