| Gov Romney stumps for Senate candidate in CA - talks energy policy |
|
By Teresa Rochester | Wednesday, June 18, 2008
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney was in Ventura County on Tuesday, stumping for state Senate candidate Tony Strickland and deflecting questions about the vice presidency.
"That's something you don't campaign for," said Romney, whose name has been bandied about as a potential running mate for Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. "My job is to help get him elected. He's got dozens of people to choose from. It's a decision he'll make down the road. It's not something I could speculate about."
Romney, who dropped out of the presidential race in February, met with several hundred people at a fundraiser for Strickland in Westlake Village.
Strickland, who is the Republican candidate for the state's 19th Senate District, chaired Romney's campaign in California.
"I believe Tony Strickland can cut back on wasteful spending and can remove the interest of special interests and bring new ideas to Sacramento," Romney said in an interview before the event.
Strickland said he was honored to have the former governor at the event and described him as a "turnaround guy."
Romney said there is a need to remove the influence of special interests and that Massachusetts has a rule prohibiting "corporate contributions."
"Each state has different rules," he said. "I haven't dealt with the other circumstances in other states. I'll let the state officials in those states decide the best way to run their campaigns."
The former governor also pointed to his policy that those serving on his gubernatorial staff or as his Cabinet secretaries could not serve if they had a spouse who was a lobbyist.
He said the recent firings of lobbyists from McCain's and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaigns were necessary. Romney had several lobbyists advising his bid for the presidency, according to previous media reports.
With discussions recently focusing on solutions to the nation's energy crisis, Romney said he favored offshore drilling if it was done with the approval of citizens in affected states. It should be conducted as part of a comprehensive energy policy that the country is lacking, he said.
"In my view, we need all the renewable sources of energy," he said, adding that new technology "is an area where basic research, I think, can help be funded through the private sector, and it's a critical priority to help bring down the cost of energy."
Romney said policy changes would likely happen at the state level, with California providing the adjustments and incentives necessary to develop new technology.

| Romney urges support for McCain in Texas |
|
06/14/2008 | By Kelley Shannon | Associated Press
Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney predicted Friday that even GOP voters who are lukewarm about presumptive nominee John McCain will get behind him to ensure conservative Supreme Court appointments and victory in the war on terror.
"They'll recognize the significance of this election," Romney said before addressing a Texas Republican Party convention dinner. He said the Republicans must keep the campaign focused on "substance over style."
Texas GOP grassroots activists haven't shown much excitement about McCain, who skipped the party's informal straw poll last year but won the state's March primary. McCain's campaign sent Romney to speak for him at the state GOP convention, and Romney's remarks led to big applause for McCain several times from the conservative crowd.
Supreme Court decisions like the one Thursday giving suspected terrorist detainees at Guantanamo Bay the right to seek release in federal courts will underscore the importance of the next president in fighting terror and making judicial appointments, Romney said.
"It is a bad decision, and John McCain said so," Romney said.
McCain has denounced the court's decision as one of the worst in its history. Romney said McCain cares about the safety of Americans and would have the experience and judgment as president to battle military Islamic jihadists.
Romney said the GOP has a formidable opponent in Obama, but he said the Republican presidential ticket will score an "unexpected victory at the ballot box — unexpected by some in certain camps." He said the biggest challenge for McCain and the Republicans will be to keep the campaign about policy.
"Barack Obama is a charming, well-spoken candidate who generates enthusiasm with audiences," Romney said, adding that Obama is sure to outspend McCain.
Romney said he's "happy to support the team" but that he hasn't discussed with McCain the possibility of becoming his running mate. "I'll just say I'm here to work for Senator McCain," Romney said.
Former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee also visited the Texas convention Friday. He praised Obama as "a very dynamic, charismatic Democrat nominee" and said he hopes Obama's status as the first black presidential nominee means racism is in the past. Then he added, "I think Senator Obama has gone far enough this year."

Veep talk swirls around ‘vote-getter’ Mitt Romney
By Hillary Chabot | Wednesday, June 11, 2008 | http://www.bostonherald.com
The buzz is growing around the possibility of Mitt Romney landing on the ticket with GOP presidential contender John McCain, and one of the voices backing such a move is Romney’s predecessor as Bay State governor, Paul Cellucci.
“Certainly Mitt Romney is on the short list, and he should be,” said Cellucci, who originally supported New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani in the presidential sweepstakes.
McCain gave his most ringing endorsement yet of Romney’s chances of being tapped as his vice presidential candidate during a fund-raiser Monday, saying, “There’s nobody who represents me better today than Mitt Romney.”
Cellucci says Romney, whose own White House hopes were dashed by McCain during the GOP primaries, is “a proven vote getter.”
“He won a lot of primaries and, let’s face it, anyone who can win in Massachusetts has got to be considered pretty good,” the former Republican governor said.
Romney, who has said he’d be “honored,” to take the number two spot, is fresh from stumping for McCain across the nation. He’ll return to the Bay State today to co-host a fund-raiser for the Arizona senator.
Cellucci, as well as two other former GOP Bay State governors - William F. Weld and Jane M. Swift will also be at the McCain fund-raiser. Weld was the only one who supported Romney during the primary. Swift was a McCain backer.
