Let's keep Romney & jetizon this group of nincompoops

>And the next GOP primary begins

April 4, 2008 - politico.com

A group of social conservatives have launched an effort to keep Mitt Romney off John McCain's ticket.

Under the rubric of an obscure PAC called "Government Is Not God," a coalition of longtime Romney opponents and past supporters of Mike Huckabee have created a website, and are buying print ads that resurrect the former Massachusetts governor's past abortion and gay rights stances.

Their first ad will run this weekend in Arizona, where McCain closes out his introductory tour, and others will follow in cities McCain stops along the trail.

The group is comprised of Massachusetts social conservatives who never bought Romney's conversion and a hodgepodge of mostly little known national activists.

Some, including radio talk show host Janet Folger and Michigan activist Gary Glinn, were vocal Huckabee backers during the primary. The parent group sponsoring the ads, "Government Is Not God," also endorsed the Arkansan's presidential bid and its leader, William J. Murray, was a top Huckabee donor who is pushing him for vice president.

The veepstakes are, of course, especially important this cycle because whoever is tapped as McCain's number two is seen to have a leg up in either 2012 or 2016.<
