Romney says Edwards $250 Tax Cut = No Haircut August 11, 2007 Iowa Dispatch: Speeches Galore Posted by REID WILSON As candidates make their way into Hilton Coliseum, the crowd is pumped. Mitt Romney, introduced first, won the biggest applause, though partisans for Texas Congressman Ron Paul and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee generated howls as well. Romney went first, repeating a stump speech in which he promises to "strengthen our military, strengthen our economy and strengthen our families." Romney is walking a delicate tightrope, hoping to minimize the distance he would have to travel back toward the center if he wins the nomination. While at once arguing for change in Washington (though, as another scribe pointed out to RCP, what kind of change?), Romney tipped his hat to President Bush, noting that the September 11th attacks have not been repeated. Romney threw barbs at Democrats Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, eliciting sounds of agreement from the crowd. He saved his best barb for John Edwards, though. Noting Edwards has proposed allowing people to save $250 a year tax-free, Romney said that wouldn't buy much in the way of retirement. "In his case, it won't even buy him a haircut," the governor said.
