You of course are referring to a sloppy MSM hit piece, which is clearly refuted in the piece by Romney spokesman. The link is here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1850546/posts?q=1&;page=1
The article title uses the word “myth”, which instantly discredits the source. Myths develop over hundreds of years, not election cycles. You want to trust ABC News to be fair and accurate, go ahead. Just don’t complain when Fred is being unfairly attacked in ‘08.
Yes, a Romney spokesman tried to spin one of the three major pieces of evidence that Romney's supposed epiphany was a cover story.
The researcher in question said Romney's version of events was exaggerated and that Mitt didn't register those kind of objections at the time; Mitt was supporting embryonic stem cell research 6 months after it supposedly turned him pro-life; and Mitt kept up his consistent record of naming mostly liberal Democrats to judgeships.
