DEL.ICIO.USRomney works the skeeter belt
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has been getting some Southern exposure lately.
Romney has put a staff on the ground in South Carolina for that state’s important ’08 presidential primary, he’s been profiled on the “700 Club,” and Thursday he’ll be the first in a series of ’08 presidential candidates to speak to the Georgia Public Policy Foundation.
Romney’s speech, at noon at the Commerce Club, is expected to focus on his state’s far-reaching new Medicaid reform program.
Romney finished second to Sen. Bill Frist in a straw poll at a gathering of Southern and Midwestern Republicans in Memphis earlier this year, fueling speculation he might have unexpected appeal in the region.

Romney will have it tough in Georgia. He’s been strong on illegals as of late, and is coming from the left to the center, when it comes to gay marriage. His health care program puts an enormous burden on the small businessman. I heard on 920WGKA that the Citizen Georgia will be interviewing him on Thursday. Is Romney conservative?
