Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney traveled to the state of Utah, venturing into a state in which many see as vital to securing a Romney victory in 2012.
The potential 2012 Republican Party presidential candidate met with a number of state legislators, offering little insight into whether he is preparing for an upcoming presidential campaign.
Mr. Romney spent an hour meeting with key legislators, many of whom are delegates.
The Republican’s visit comes in the wake of a recent poll that shows Mr. Romney leading former Utah governor Jon Huntsman.
Mr. Huntsman, who is currently serving as ambassador to China, announced earlier this year that he will resign his position. It is assumed that the former governor will form a presidential exploratory committee before entering the 2012 presidential election.
Mr. Romney remains mum on his intentions. The Massachusetts Republican has noted he is “deciding on dates,” a statement that indicates he is preparing to announce a run for president in the coming weeks. He continues to lead in a number of pre-primary presidential polls.
