http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/gop-presidential-primary/204373-romney-asks-immigration-hard-liners-to-be-his-surrogates-in-scMitt Romney's campaign has invited a trio of anti-illegal-immigration advocates to act as surrogates in the spin room after Monday's debate in South Carolina, according to Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R), one of the surrogates.
Kobach is best known for helping Arizona lawmakers to write a controversial anti-illegal-immigration bill that has since been adopted in other states including South Carolina.
He said he will be joined by Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), who has said all illegal immigrants should be deported and won his seat by hammering then-Rep. Chris Cannon (R-Utah) for supporting amnesty for undocumented immigrants, and Bay Buchanan, a longtime conservative activist who was a senior adviser on former Rep. Tom Tancredo's (R-Colo.) 2008 presidential campaign. All three have endorsed Romney.
"The governors campaign has asked me to be a surrogate with him to represent him in the spin room after tonight's debate," Kobach told The Hill after clarifying that he would not be speaking at an event with Romney on Monday, as he had earlier indicated. "There will be a couple of his endorsers here Bay Buchanan and Jason Chaffetz."

Until the Cheese-eating surrender monkey produces a birth certificate and a certified film of his live birth in front of a national monument, I will continue to assume that he is a citizen of France.

There are lots of Asians, Europeans, Cubans, etc who are registered voters who hope to have friends and
family join them in the USA. If Romney isn't real careful on how he approaches this he may lose their votes.

are Hispanic" for the general election will come. This could be a thing of beauty to watch.
