Romney plans Iowa visit

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney will return to Iowa next month to campaign for Republican gubernatorial candidate Terry Branstad.

Branstad spokesman Tim Albrecht says the 2008 Republican presidential candidate will visit Iowa on Oct. 26.

It's Romney's second visit to the state since his disappointing showing in the state's 2008 caucuses. Romney finished a distant second to former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee despite campaigning heavily in Iowa.

Romney is frequently mentioned as a potential presidential candidate in 2012. His trip to the state will follow planned September stops in Iowa by two others mentioned as possible presidential candidates — former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
