Romney says he is in it for the long haul


Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney says he is in for the long haul after finishing second to John McCain in the New Hampshire Republican Primary:

Romney himself pledged a long fight for the GOP nomination. He held out his second-place finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire, with a victory in Wyoming wedged between, as testimony to his 50-state strategy.

"There have been three races so far. I've gotten two silvers and one gold - thank-you Wyoming," Romney said in a spartan seven-minute address conceding the race.

"On to Michigan and South Carolina and Florida and Nevada," Romney added. "I'll fight to be back here in November in those states and others."

A Romney intimate, who spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid pre-empting the candidate, said the campaign was "going to take the shackles off, have him be less measured.
