MITT DRIVE- Want a GOP office in Utah? Best get your glove on Mitt

(Deseret News).It used to be Ronald Reagan.

Now it's Mitt Romney.

If you are a Republican trying to win an office in Utah, you want to stand next to Romney, the locally popular former head of the Salt Lake Winter Olympics.

More important, you want Romney's Utah fundraising ability.

Apparently, it doesn't get any better than a Mitt For Me endorsement — even if you only partly think you have it.

In the case of U.S. Sen. Bob Bennett, R-Utah, he does have it — both the endorsement and fundraising, Romney was in town a month ago for a "Bennett in 2010" event and official endorsement, which raised an estimated $225,000 for the senator's re-election effort next year.

And wasting no time, Bennett is now running a Romney TV endorsement ad that in 30 seconds has Romney saying three times that Bennett is a conservative.
