and god, but i did something very terrible and regret it. i think that s what the public is looking for. not this happened partially because i loved my country so much i worked too hard. why is he doing this? why is he running for president with all his baggage and weighing into the religious part of the republican party? he s not running on taxes and government, he s running on up the values front. he s moved into the iowa values evangelical crowd. he wants to run in the western conference i m calling it. why is he doing this to us? first of all, there s a great gaping gap in the republican field. yes, you ve got you have santorum out there. he s not going to win either. right, but he s looked at the motto huckabee had last time. if you win the iowa caucus you get some attention. you get some money. you get a second look. and so he knows that if he wants to go play in iowa, romney probably won t go to iowa. pawlenty is not getting a lot of traction there. he s going to at le
