Romney Post Caucus debate

Although he may be speaking to the contrary, the Mitt Romney suffered a disappointment in Iowa. Despite throwing everything and the kitchen sink at the Iowa caucus, including thousands of attack ads and outspending Huckabee 20-1, he finished second behind the former Arkansas governor when push came to shove on January 3rd. After reassuring supporters that he was satisfied with his second place finish, citing how far he's come as an "unknown governor from the bluest state in America". Now, he is setting his sights on New Hampshire. Though he hasn't spent as much time or money in the state, Romney seems to be banking on New Hampshires more erudite, successful citizens to identify with him as a well educated, business savvy kindred spirit and pull the rug out from under Huckabee.
In Saturday's debate, Romney forded the first question by focusing on encouraging the moderation of Islam to fight extremist terrorist. With regards to the military, Romney said he wants to increase the size of military by 100,000 troops and defended his support of troop surge against a belligerent Huckabee. He touted Massachusetts healthcare plan and called for universal healthcare without resorting to socialized medicine. Instead, he advocated what he called “free market care”. Romney also spared with McCain over McCain’s plan to combat illegal immigration, specifically the meaning of the word amnesty. When asked hypothetically how he would approach a debate with Obama, Romney talked about ability to bring change, citing his work as governor, as chairman of the SLOOC, and his success in the private sector.
