I want to post a small personal note, by way of explanation. We were blessed with our first child this year. She has been just wonderful and we love her very much and we are very happy and grateful to have a family now. But I never dreamed it would take so much of my time to care for a baby. I couldn’t keep up with everything and so it was this website that I had to let go for a while. It was pretty much dormant here at Mitt Romney in 2008 dot com during the fourth quarter of 2007 except for approving an occasional comment and doing some cleanup. My support for Governor Romney has never wavered.
A few days ago, Mike Hickabee shocked us (or did the Iowa voters shock us?) and won the Iowa primaries. I couldn’t believe it. I always assumed that Mitt Romney would take Iowa and then New Hampshire. After all, this was the strategy that he has been building on for over a year now. Romney, his sons, and his campaign worked really hard in Iowa and spent so much money there. Reports showed that his plan was working and he was on track to realize his goals. Now it looks as if he may lose in New Hampshire. Coming in second is good. But still, if you don’t win first, you lose. Nevertheless, losing Iowa and New Hampshire is not really a big deal. Especially since no one candidate is sweeping both of these states. We still remain optimistic since it is still early and this race is still wide open. Ten or more states may hold their caucuses before a clear frontrunner emerges (or better stated -before Romney emerges as the frontrunner).
So I’ve got to get back to work here at this critical time. Our baby is several months old now and more able to keep herself entertained.

John McCain has been a part of Washington Corruption. He was one of the five Senates who involved in Savings & Loans scandal in later 80’s. It is also called “The Keating Five”.
In 1989, the Lincoln Savings and Loan Association of Irvine, CA, collapsed. Lincoln’s Chairman, Charles H. Keating Jr., was faulted for the thrift’s failure. Keating told the House Banking Committee that the FHLBB and its former chief Edwin J. Gray were pursuing a vendetta against him. Gray testified that several U.S. senators had approached him and requested that he ease off on the Lincoln investigation. It came out that these senators had been beneficiaries of 1.3 million in campaign contributions from Keating.
This allegation set off a series of investigations by the California government, the United States Department of Justice, and the Senate Ethics Committee. The Ethics committee’s investigation focused on five senators: Alan Cranston (D_CA), Dennis DeConnis (D-AZ), John Glenn (D_OH), John McCain (R_AZ) and Donald Riegle Jr.(D_MI), who became known as the Keating Five. After the investigation, the Committee recommended censure for Cranston and criticized the other four. Most of them did not seek for re-election, and John McCain is the only one who left in Senate. John McCain is a part of Washington Corruption. The country is in another Savings & Loans crisis, and how people could forget the Washington corruption that associated with John McCain. IF Republican Party votes for John McCain for the President of United State, we become the party of Washington Corruption.
