Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney spoke with Fox News’ Sean Hannity this evening just after Martha Coakley had conceded the race to Scott Brown. If the Fox News video isn’t streaming well(replaced it with YouTube), it is most likely because EVERYONE is watching!! By the way, I loved the dig that Mitt took at Obama at about the 3:35 mark!
Here’s more from another interview by a local Massachusetts news stations:
In this interview Ann Romney explains that she didn’t even know how to change a diaper when she had her first child. She says that Mitt had to show her how to change a diaper(my wife can relate)! She talks of human civility and how to deal with political criticism as well as the decision she and Mitt will make together regarding 2012.
She says it is a big decision and a HUGE sacrifice so they’ll need to wait for at least a year before making that decision.
Mitt Romney talks about health care and his plans for 2012:
Mitt and Ann Romney talk about Marriage and Family Values. I really enjoyed watching this interview with Mitt and Ann together(you can watch Ann’s Separate interview here) because it shows them on a very personal level without campaign pressure. I loved it when Gretchen played the “Newlywed Game” with them:
Mitt and Ann Romney were recently by Fox News’ Gretchen. That interview will air on Wedsnesday. Here are some excerpts of what Governor Romney had to say about his plans for 2012.
Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney says he will decide after the 2010 Congressional elections whether to take on pro-abortion President Barack Obama. Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, ran as a pro-life candidate against eventual nominee John McCain.
Romney is one of several Republicans considering a bid against Obama and consistently polls in the top three in most surveys of Republicans and American voters.
He has ranked as one of the top potential candidates along with pro-life former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.
In a new interview with Fox News slated to air Wednesday, Romney discusses his plans.
“It’s always a possibility, and you keep the options open, but, you concentrate on the task ahead, for me that’s trying to get some good people elected in 2010,” he says on the Fox News program “Fox and Friends.”
“And, I know once that’s done the next item on the agenda is what’s 2012 going to be; and, Ann and I will give that some thought and make the decision then,” he added.
Appearing like a candidate, or at least an advocate for “change” in 2010, Romney voiced criticism of Obama, saying he has governed from the left when he pledged to be a moderate.
“I had higher hopes for him,” Romney said. “I knew he was a smart individual — I thought that he would learn that governing from the middle was the right way to go, as president Clinton learned his second term, but he’s made a lot of the mistakes that ideologues often do, which is thinking that everybody in the country voted for their extreme agenda.”
Romney also talked about Palin in the interview on the Fox News show and diffused rumors that she may consider a third-party presidential bid.
“I don’t know what her plans are but my expectation is that she’ll stay in the Republican party,” he said.
“Look, she’s a great, energizing member of the party. She has good ideas that have galvanized a lot of support for the party and she’s a welcome addition,” he added.
During the campaign, Romney said he is pro-life on abortion and went as far as endorsing the overturning of Roe v. Wade so states can again protect women and unborn children from abortion.
However, the former governor came under fire from some quarters for his state health care plan, which includes taxpayer-funded abortions. Romney countered that the state Supreme Court required abortion funding under the program.
A Gallup survey asked Republicans to say whether they would like any of several potential presidential candidates.
Some 71 percent of Republicans say they would seriously consider voting for Huckabee while the same 65 percent say they would consider Romney or Palin, both of whom ran as pro-life candidates in 2008.
A previous Rasmussen poll found 29% of Republican voters nationwide say Huckabee is their pick to represent the GOP in the 2012 presidential campaign.
The survey had 24 percent preferring Romney and 18% would cast their vote for pro-life former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
The full interview is set to air on Wednesday but Fox was able to give us a peak into their interview with Ann:
