Geographically challenged
Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist is one of the most connected conservatives in Washington and he's saying that Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is a great contender for the GOP presidential nomination in 2008.
Norquist says other presidential candidates are always talking about Romney because he's the "smartest, toughest guy in the race," according to a story in the Washington Examiner.
"But Norquist cautioned that Romney could be hampered by the fact that he grew up in the western, conservative state of Utah and then moved to the eastern, liberal state of Massachusetts. Americans who live in the vast middle regions -- both geographically and ideologically -- might find it hard to relate to the governor, Norquist said."
Fact check, Mr. Norquist: Romney grew up in Michigan where his daddy was governor. (Hat tip to Hotline.)
Attention pundits: Not all Mormons live in Utah.
