Stick around a bit and ole Multiple Choice Mitt will change his position several times

When he ends up Prez. Right now, he's making the sale to the Base, and differentiating himself from McTraitor.

And seems to be doing a good job of mouthing the right words. And hiring Kris Kobach is great.

So the question is....if we all vote for him, will Mitt stay bought? Does he honor his contracts?

I don't know the answer to such questions. Having lived and worked in Salt Lake, I can't say I feel confident.

But in the debate the other day he referred to illegal aliens as...illegal aliens.

I haven't heard that out of the mouth of a major candidate in well over a decade.

It's a good sign.

Maybe Mitty doesn't have a shred of ideology in him other than being a good tither. But if he services his contracts faithfully, well...OK then.

I agree with your analysis. I believe it's honest. But then again, any Army officer will tell you...hope is not a plan.

Many of the people here are criticizing Mitt for the fact that when Mitt changed his viewpoints during his term of office, he still enforced some of the views on which he'd campaigned. He still governed to the right of his constituency.

Seriously, if a politician's views change to be at odds with his campaign platform, what should he do:

1. Start enforcing his new views, probably against the will of his constituents?
2. Keep enforcing the views on which he was elected, until the next election?
3. Resign immediately?

I can't fault Mitt Romney for not doing #1. And I'm not sure #3 would have served Massachusetts any better than #2.
