Trouble Romney Calls


In New Hampshire, trouble phone calls have hurt Mitt Romney for his Presidential election. An attorney is investigating into these matters. The phone calls are suppose to ask the voters about their opinions on the 2008 Presidential Candidates, but in reality it was to say bad things about Mitt Romney and good things about John McCain, also a Presidential candidate. McCain said he doesn't know anything about these allegations and want the phone calls to stop. McCain was saying that the phone calls were a disgrace of the citizens od New Hampshire and it was also an outrageous act. McCain want his attorney to investigate into these matters too. He is also calling other Presidential candidates to support him on his investigation. One of McCain's campaign adviser said that the phone calls could be from other Presidential candidates too.

A Utah-based company by the name of Western Wats categorized these phone calls as "push polling" which is a method of using phone calls to plant negative messages to listeners. The phone calls only took place in New Hampshire before it could go anywhere else. More than seven people in New Hampshire recieved these phone calls. Their length time was estimated at twenty minutes. The phone calls pointed out negative things about Mormons such as Mormons doesn't accept black people and the Book of Mormon is better than the bible, etc. Romney said that this situation with the phone calls is what he referred to a term he called as "un-American." Romney's faith have been an issue even since he started his campaign for Presidency. There phone calls are no exception to his attacks on his religion.
