1. He calls himself a "liberal Democrat"
Romney uses Rocky's backing

By Lisa Riley Roche
Deseret News staff writer


Republican Mitt Romney's latest television commercial in his race for governor of Massachusetts features an endorsement from a self-described "liberal Democrat" — Salt Lake Mayor Rocky Anderson.

The former Olympic chief's choice for the 30-second spot is curious, considering that the controversial Anderson is a virtual unknown in Massachusetts, a state where Democrats dominate politics like the GOP does in Utah.

"It's telling that Mitt Romney had to go back to Utah to find a mayor who's supporting him," said Adrian Durbin, the spokesman for Shannon O'Brien, Romney's Democratic opponent.

2. Ross "Rocky" Anderson is a democrat
He is a pretty good mayor. Supports minority rights. Big into recycling. We love him. Single middle aged man with a son. He really gets on republican's nerves. They call him "gay" so they have an excuse to bash him.

3. Rocky Anderson calls himself a Democratic Socialist.
USA Today called him America's most liberal mayor. He was a former ACLU lawyer and just won re-election last November (beating out a more moderate Democrat).
