"Governor Mitt Romney has a proven record of bringing real change to address problems that others would consider impossible. He has turned around businesses, turned around the Olympics, and turned around Massachusetts. Today, it is clear that Washington is broken and it will not get fixed if we keep sending the same people back - just to have them sit in different chairs.

"Especially now, with concerns about the national economy, we need someone who knows how jobs are created and why it is important to cut taxes and government spending.

"But instead of talking about issues, a secret 527 Group supporting Governor Mike Huckabee - called Common Sense Issues - is distorting Governor Romney's record with push polls in Missouri and across the country.

"I know that Missouri voters will not respond to these deplorable and desperate tactics.

"We want an issues based campaign, a campaign about the future of our country, and we will not take kindly to out-of-state special interest groups calling us up and saying things that are not true about a candidate's record.

"Governor Romney is the real conservative candidate who will cut taxes, fight illegal immigration, and strengthen our military.

"It is time for Governor Huckabee to put an end to these push polls and begin running a campaign on the issues."
