Well, in Krauthammers world, Romney is at least somewhat conservative because he is a low tax low regulation guy and he would probably continue war on terror at least to the level of Bush - and perhaps even roll back some of the political correct constraints on that. And I’m sure his switch to pro life language is good enough for Krauthammer.

And remember, according to folks like Krauthammer and Dick Morris and others who supported McCain in 08 - it was because Romney was too conservative and too much aligned with the “Republican Brand” that made McCain the “most electable.”

And of course, we see how that worked out...

Good analysis. Of course, Krauthammer is right in one sense. He wants a sure “winner” albeit one who can be infuenced in the “right direction” by well-placed handlers. Silly putty Romney fits the bill perfectly.

Why don't you tell the TRUTH about what Dick Morris said?

I bet to avoid the answer: Mitt Romney was a backstabber.

"Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries,
(Mitt Romney, Carpetbagger UT,CA,MA,NH,Mexico) lost Iowa, South Carolina, Florida and California.
The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states;
and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals
couldn't spare the cash to advertise.
Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries.
(W)hen (Romney's early leads) started slipping away, he resorted to unfair,
distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't
afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges."

[Romney: A Mistake for McCain, 7/23/2008, Dick Morris]

"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"


Poor sport spoiler Romney doing what he does best:

Novak: "Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign"

Said Novak: "The rumors were traced in part to Mitt Romney's campaign,
trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson
."

I can’t wait to see all the faces of those RINO establishment orators when Sarah not only enters the race, but wins the race all the way to the White House.

IT WILL BE A GREAT DAY!
