11:01 PM: Romney rebuts Huckabee camp's charges of caucus site misinformation
Mike Huckabee's campaign has charged Mitt Romney's organization with providing caucus-goers with faulty information on Jan. 3 caucus locations, but the former Massachusetts governor said that is not the case Wednesday during an appearance on Fox News' Hannity and Colmes.
Huckabee's campaign issued a press release Wednesday night charging the Romney camp with deliberately misleading a Huckabee supporter.
National campaign manager Chip Saltsman cited a mailer from the Romney campaign to an identified Huckabee supporter that lists the Windsor Heights precinct 3 caucus location as Cowles Elementary School when it is actually at 3E Electrical, 953 73rd Street.
"There are no caucuses for Republicans at Cowles Elementary," Saltsman said. "It's bad enough, yet not surprising, that the Romney campaign once again has the wrong information."
Nothing of that nature like that is going on with his campaign, Romney said on the news network. Romney told host Sean Hannity that the Republican Party of Iowa has changed locations in recent weeks.
Romney also told Hannity and Colmes that he wants to finish strong in Iowa, and said the Hawkeye State will also come into play in November because it is considered a swing state.
"I want to make sure this is a campaign that is successful," Romney said on the program. "We are going to have to win Iowa (in November) if we want to win in '08."
