In an interview Thursday with The Associated Press, Romney sought to minimize his relationship with Anderson, once a prominent example of bipartisan camaraderie. The two worked closely together when Romney ran the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
"He was a mayor that worked well with me during the Olympics, and I supported his work as a mayor," said Romney, who spoke before an event in heavily Republican western Iowa, where he planned to meet privately with key activists. "I do not endorse or support his views on President Bush or almost any other issue, particularly that's unrelated to being a mayor."
