Mitt Romney on Iowa: 'We’re going to win this thing'
MARION, Iowa - Appearing before a jubilant crowd at a rally here, Mitt Romney appeared to predict a victory in Tuesday's Iowa caucuses - surprising his own advisers in the process.
"We're going to win this thing with all of our passion and strength and do everything we can to get this campaign on the right track to go across the nation and pick up other states, to get the ballots I need, the votes I need, to become our nominee," the former Massachusetts governor declared.
His statement, delivered in the final moments of a rally in a city that Romney overwhelmingly won back in 2008, took his campaign advisers by surprise.
Asked about the quote by a reporter, David Kochel, Romney's top Iowa strategist, immediately turned to Stuart Stevens, Romney's chief political strategist, and said, "Did you hear that? Our guy said we're going to win Iowa."

this event," and if he doesn't, it will be a week-long gloating fest.
One way or the other, unless the winner is Herman Cain, I say BFD.
