Mitt Romney Confident Ahead of Iowa Vote


At the final stop of his Iowa tour, Mitt Romney told his supporters that he’s confident that he’ll win tomorrow’s vote.

Romney said to a crowd of about 500:

“We’re going to win this thing. (We’re going to) do everything we can to get this campaign on the right track to go across the nation and to pick up other states and to get the ballots I need, the votes I need to become our nominee.”

A Romney spokesperson told MSNBC that Romney wasn’t predicting the outcome of the caucus, but was saying that he was confident that he would win the nomination.

Romney currently leads the polls in Iowa, but the votes are pretty evenly spread between three candidates. Romney is the most popular candidate in Iowa with 24% support according to the latest poll, but Ron Paul sits in a close second with 22% and Rick Santorum is just a little further back in third.

Romney said:

“I need you tomorrow night. I need every single vote in this room, and I need you to get a couple of other votes from yours in your neighborhood.”

Romney also used his last stop to criticize President Obama. Romney said:

“I want to see America united. I watch a president who has become the great divider, the great complainer, the great excuse giver, the great blamer. I want to have an America that comes together. I’m an optimist. I believe in the future of America.”

According to the Huffington Post, Romney’s anti-Obama speech showed that he is more concerned about facing President Obama in the 2012 election than the other GOP candidates like Ron Paul and Rick Santorum.
