monster headphonesMitt Romney is dipping his toe into Iowa’s political waters, less than two weeks after former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee said he wouldn’t seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2012. In his 2008 bid for the Republican nomination, Romney finished second to Huckabee in the Iowa caucuses. As Romney has crisscrossed the country this year preparing for anothermonster beatspresidential try, which his campaign said yesterday he will formally announce on June 2 in New Hampshire, he hasn’t spent a single day in Iowa -- until today. The former Massachusetts governor is scheduled to visit an Iowa agriculture software company, speak before a business group and attend a Republican Party picnic. “Governor Romney will be competing in Iowa, as he is the other primary states,” said Andrea Saul, a spokeswoman for him. The Iowa caucuses,

In 2008, 60 percent of the Republican caucus participants described themselves in entrance polls as born-again or evangelical Christians. Romney hasn’t been a natural fit for that group, given his Mormon faith and past support of abortion and gay rights. His visit today may help ease concerns among Iowa Republicans that, with Huckabee out of the race, Romeny still would bypass them to focus on New Hampshire, the second state on the nomination calendar where he leads in the polls and, as a former governor of an adjacent state, is well known. ‘The Top Three’ In remarks pointed at Romney this week, Iowa Governor Terry Branstad, a Republican, cautioned against skipping his state. “I do think it’s important to compete here and maybe you don’t have to win, but doing relatively well -- and he’s considered

He was supported by 17 percent of the Republicans and Republican-leaning independents in the poll, which was taken May 20-24 and has a margin of error of plus or minus four percentage points. Before Romney’s visit, Iowa Republicans expressed frustration with the lack of attention he has paid so far to the state. “It’s disappointing because Romney did well here last time,” said Kevin McLaughlin, the Republican chairman in Polk County, the state’s largest. “I don’t want him to skip Iowa and Iowans who care about him. That’s not very polite.” -- Editors: Leslie Hoffecker, Don Frederick
