Romney: ‘I’m Fiscal Conservative’

Idaho Gov. Butch Otter introduced GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney at Romney’s Boise campaign rally this afternoon. “Folks, this election is about your and my liberty,” Otter said. “We will turn out for that Idaho caucus. … We will turn out for the man that has the executive experience, understands that we are a free market, not a socialist country, that has been there and done that.” Romney, who’s come to Idaho to campaign for Otter in the past, told the crowd, “What a great state this is - you’re lucky to live here.” He recalled a summer he spent working on an Idaho ranch near King Hill when he was 15. “I learned so much about cultivating corn and spring corn and irrigating corn,” he said. “I thought I’d never see the end of corn”/ Betsy Russell , Eye On Boise.

At the rally for Mitt Romney in Boise now going on, Dennis Mansfield Facebooks: ” Mitt Romney, in person, strikes me as the guy you knew in high school who might have been on the cheer-leading squad. Nice guy, sort-of athletic, and a guy who wants to be liked. But still… A cheerleader. Odd.”

Question: Do you have a good/bad impression of high school cheerleaders?
