On the Mitt train
Presidential candidate Mitt Romney will unveil a list of Utah lawmakers today that are backing his White House hopes. I got a copy of the list and it shows most of the House and Senate Republicans are on board with Romney, the former head of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and a Mormon.
According to the list, Romney can claim 16 of the 21 Republican senators and 40 of the 55 GOP House members in the Utah Legislature. By complete coincidence, it takes 15 votes to get legislation passed in the Senate and 38 is the number needed in the House. So he has a majority of both chambers.
So who's going to sponsor the "Mitt Romney would make the best president ever!" resolution? Of course, since Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. backs Arizona Sen. John McCain, he could refuse to sign on.
