Romney to meet with congressional backers

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 (UPI) -- Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney plans to meet with his congressional supporters Thursday, it was reported.

The former Massachusetts governor's meeting comes after his disappointing showing in the Super Tuesday nominating contests, in which he lost most pivotal states to Arizona Sen. John McCain, The Hill reported Wednesday.

The Washington newspaper reported Romney will meet with the members of Congress who endorsed his candidacy. The meeting will take place at the Capitol Hill Club after Romney addresses the Conservative Political Action Conference's annual convention.

Romney's campaign spokesman Kevin Madden neither confirmed nor denied Thursday's meeting, The Hill reported. He said that "any meetings scheduled in D.C. are part of our regular outreach with supporters."
