School choice is conservative.

There were a couple times, mainly related to him pledging to not cut spending, where he didn’t provide much of a contrast. But overall, I think he highlighted conservative differences with Obama.
I do wish he would have mentioned Obama’s forcing Catholic institutions to fund birth control in Obamacare. That’s a great specific of the government dictating health care decisions.
“do wish he would have mentioned Obama’s forcing Catholic institutions to fund birth control in Obamacare.”
He alluded to religious liberty in the governing question. its a ‘dog whistle’ on the HHS mandate.
He covered a lot of ground and I was particularly pleased and surprised to hear him totally eviscerate Obamacare.
Anyone doubting that he will repeal Obamacare can rest easy. Yes, they will put back some regs and gimmes, but the main thrust of Obamacare was to use the ‘pre-existing condition’ excuse as a camel’s nose for nationalized healthare.
Under Romney, that is all going away.
