Vote for Romney in the GOP bloggers straw poll:

I was making the net rounds the other day and ran accross an Anti-Romney piece at “Students for Brownback” (go visit them, they need the traffic). I thought there was an interesting theme to there site. Currently on their front page they have 10 pieces. & of them are directly concerning Mitt Romney. One of them is a decidedly anti-mormon hit piece. Not a single post on anything that talks about Brownback himself.

Look, we all know Brownback is a lousy candidate. He has no support except for some single issue voters, and he’s amnesty loving, pro-pork, no exectutive experience, lies about his flip, soft on gay adoption and soft on the GWOT. That’s true. We all know Brownback, Huckabee and Thompson are like lead ballons on a windy day- ain’t going anywhere. But why the seemingly infatuation with my man Mitt?

C’mon S4B! You have to have something about your candidate that is noteworthy!

***Update***

Students for Brownback have taken the time to thank us for the increased traffic, must have made a dent!

One point, site owner Billy decides to knock on us for not having nearly as many people vote for the GOP poll as his site, 1/3 to be exact. Now here is where Billy the student gets a lesson:

Now Billy, we have had our poll post up for 2 hours, you have had yours up for 2 days. If we can get 1/3 of the traffic as you in 2 hours that you got in two days, that doesn’t sound too good for your site. But your twisting of facts is nothing new for the Brownback camp.

BTW, we haven’t had any traffic from your site yet. Does anyone visit your site other than Romney supporters? You’re 8/10 for Romney posts on your front page now. Romney appreciates your help.

In our continuing quest to fight the fight for Mitt we are launching the first in a series of interactive applications to help you better get to know the candidate (Hey – we can officially call him a candidate now!). CLICK ON THE GRAPHIC BELOW

Today we give you the interactive Issue Map allowing you to quickly digest Governor Romney’s positions on various topics, view videos, search blogs, and download issue papers from the campaign. More tools will be available soon!

If your pop-up blocker is just not gonna let this thing work… here is the link to the direct page.

Prior to Mitt coming Ann spoke. Here is a video of her waiting and then walking on stage.

I am not including any of the video I took of Romney speaking since he was well covered by the online feed, and Justin posted a lot of that here already.

After Mitt’s speech they took the time to walk through the crowd, take pictures and answer questions from the media. It was kind of fun. I had to shove my way into the media (I was hoping to knock over a CNN guy- no such luck) and just held my camera up really high. It’s one of te advantages of being 6’5 and 300lbs. People just move out f your way. Not wearing deoderant helps too.

This is Ann Romney answering questions from the Media:

Here is video of Romney with the crowd. About a minute into Romney greets his nephew, it’s a good shot. We also see some face time with Ann Marie Curling!

We had a bunch of students there at the event…

GOP Bloggers Feb Poll (Just posted yesterday; Mitt currently trailing Giuliani and Gingrich) . . . I think this can be done daily.

Pajamas Media (click on “Voting Booth” near the flag graphic)

Free Republic (Mitt Trailing there among the VERY conservative crowd there)

2008 Horserace (2 votes per URL. Romney trailing only Brownback among the GOP field, and only by 20 votes)

The Krusty Konservative (Iowa blog with Huckabee in the lead)

Any other significant ones I missed?

I still try to maintain my “Poll Roll” over at Iowans for Romney (right sidbar)
