A beautiful western sunset... Gov Mitt Romney will attend fundraisers in The Cowboy State today. Aug 18, 2011 (click on image to enlarge)
The wide, open spaces of the intermountain west will be Mitt Romney’s destination for the next couple of days.
Today, The Gov will take in the rugged beauty of Wyoming as he meets with the good folks in Afton and Wilson. He’s also there to rustle up some cash:
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will hold a pair of fundraisers and make his first public Wyoming campaign stop of the 2012 election season Thursday in western Wyoming.
Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts who easily won the 2008 Wyoming Republican presidential caucuses, will hold a meet and greet at the Afton Civic Center starting at 1:15 p.m., according to campaign spokesman Ryan Williams.
Earlier that morning, Romney will attend a private $2,500-per-head fundraiser at the Star Valley Trout Ranch near Afton, according to Afton Civic Center events coordinator Justin Visser.
On Thursday evening, Romney will attend a fundraiser in Wilson, Williams said. Williams declined to provide details about that fundraiser.
Friday will find Gov Romney in northern Utah, the beautiful Beehive State:
The Logan Herald Journal says Romney will host the events Friday at a private home and a conference center in Logan.
Romney’s visit will be the second to heavily Republican Utah since he officially announced his candidacy for president. He visited Salt Lake City in July for a fundraiser and a rally at a hamburger stand.
Romney remains extremely popular in the state[...] Polls continue to show him carrying a substantial lead in the state over other Republican candidates, including former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman.

Here’s a pretty good angle from Colbert about the WH attempt to use “wierd” as the codeword for Mormon with Romney. Also highlights the “I am a mormon” media blitz by the church.

Mitt leaves no Electoral College vote unturned! Admire his vigor on the campaign trail. When does this man sleep? Must be living on the granola that Ann makes for him to munch on. Looks high energy in his pictures and videos. Very physically fit for a person his age. He needs 270 Electoral College votes to beat Mr. Obama in the upcoming election. You can be sure that Mr. O. has his eyes on those important numbers. Every state – every vote – counts. GO MITT!
His name is Lloyd Baker.
Why is this man in the bottom with the Republican list of declared presidential candidates?
He actual sounds like a normal, sensible individual who could have good quality ideas in reference to our stalled economy.
His one flaw is the fact that he develops from a family of wealth and privilege. For some that isn’t a flaw, but I often wonder the way the very wealthy can relate with the problems from the under-class. But, i then remember that JFK originated in the same background he certainly could relate with those from lessor circumstances.
Anyway, I do believe that Republicans should give Huntsman much more serious consideration instead of concentrating on the wing-nuts like Bachman and Perry.
