In Arden Hills, an early -- and lonely -- Romney supporter

The chair of the House District 50B Republicans said he has had trouble convincing friends that Romney is the most electable of the Republicans

At Mounds View High School in Arden Hills, Greg Meyers arrived early for Minnesota's political caucuses Tuesday and knew it would probably not be a big evening at the high school for his presidential candidate, Mitt Romney.

"I'm probably going to be the only Mitt guy," said Meyers, the chair for the House District 50B Republicans. "For a lot of people, he's not conservative enough."

Meyers said he has had trouble convincing Republican friends that Romney, unlike the other Republican presidential candidates, may be the most electable of the candidates. "It's not resonating right now, for me, with my circle of people," he said.

But said Meyers: "If it's not Mitt, I love Newt" Gingrich.
