He says John McCainwho is leading the polls so far in the GOP racerepresents a different portion of their party. (Mitt Romney, GOP Candidate) andamp;quot;I want our party to stay in the house that Ronald Reagan built. I don't believe we want to take a left turn.

He says it is essential to him that the country does not allow Iraq to fall in the hands of AlQaida.

I believe that you're going to see with General Petraeous' plan a brigade a month taken out of Iraq. You'll have our troop strength down to about fifteen brigades as of July. The result of that I think is that you're going to see the Iraqi military stand up.andamp;quot; Romney says when he was governor of Massachusetts for four years, he balanced the budget. But he says he is not a life-long politician. Romney worked in the private sector for 25 years as a businessman. He says he will fight to keep the economy strong.
