Montee in N.H., while Talent/Jetton prepare for post-Iowa spin

Missouri state Auditor Susan Montee is in New Hampshire today stumping for her choice for president, U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill. The word is that Obama’s staff is confident enough of a strong Iowa showing today that they are shifting some high-profile supporters to New Hampshire, which holds its primary next Tuesday.

In the GOP camp, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney – who is less confident of a strong Iowa finish today — is looking ahead to other states as well.

Two of his campaign staffers from Missouri — former Sen. Jim Talent and current state House Speaker Rod Jetton – are planning a conference call with reporters tomorrow to discuss Romney’s campaign plans for Missouri, one of the crowd of states holding primaries or caucuses on Feb. 5.

By the way, you might want to check out The Turner Report’s account of Talent’s tirade about Romney’s nemesis, Huckabee on MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Mathews.

Romney’s plan for Missouri ought to include some fancy explanations as to why he lost.

When all is said and done, very few evangelicals will vote for Romney regardless of whether it’s Iowa, Missouri or wherever. Most evangelicals consider the Morman religion a cult, therefore not voting for it. Period.

Look, I’m usually a Dem. But, I’ve got to wonder:

How can Susan Montee (or any other non-New Hampshire state auditor) help a presidential candidate in New Hampshire? Why go?

It just figures—that the mediocrity late of the Senate, and the Jefferson City cipher would be supporting Mitt Romney, the elitist liar and soon to be afterthought in this increasingly amusing pre-election exercise. They all deserve each other.

Sen. Bond should use his free time to cozy up to the fireplace with a full snifter, because (bad drag queen) Rudy Ghouliani’s campaign is tanking quicker than a bottle of bourbon in the Bond household.

You just gotta love it! Soon there will be signs like this on the Republican campaign trail: WANTED: a viable candidate!!

How will we know if Jetton’s phone makes connections with the conference call?
Never mind.
