Its ridiculous.
Slick Willard should just say he changed his mind for perfectly good reasons, even if they are crassly political ones.
What he should NOT do is come across as a slick politician.
But if he can’t stick to a definite stand, you have to wonder what he’ll be like as President.
Just as a leopard does not change its spots, a RINO is not going to become Barry Goldwater in this life either.
If the GOP is stupid enough to run this guy, they better not expect anything different than what happened to the enemy’s candidate Lurch in 2004.
Meanwhile, the left has successfully undermined two great candidates this past month: Cain and Rubio. My guess is the next shots will come at Gingrich as he has been quietly picking up steam of late. They want to run against Romney. They had the advantage that Perry shot his foot off, Backman faded, Santorum never got launched, Paul has not learned to give short answers and stop talking once he made his point.
“Slick Willard should just say he changed his mind for perfectly good reasons, even if they are crassly political ones.”
But even if he did that, his defense of Romneycare is the dead giveaway that he’s a liberal at heart. No conservative would ever defend government-mandated healthcare.
If he threw it under the bus and tried to portray himself as a recovering liberal, he might be more believable. But even then, I’d have a hard time accepting that someone who signed off on universal health care could make a complete 180.
