Well said. I even hope to be applauding Romney at times. As Mark Steyn says, it's better to try to push an imperfect person to do the right thing, than wait for someone perfect.

My own opinion is Myth isn't a liberal, nor a conservative. His only ideology is a general pro-business pragmatism. He ran for governor as a moderate-liberal, because that's what it took to get elected, and he governed as one because that's what he ran as, and it was politically expedient. Now he's running as a moderate-conservative, and my guess is if he is elected he will govern as one for the same reasons. Probably he'll be similar to G.W. Bush. I'll take that over a neo-Marxist like Obama any day.

What people forget about Romney's time as governor of Massachusetts is that I believe there were less than ten GOP legislators, in both houses. With those conditions, near impossible to govern far from the middle. If Reagan had only 8 GOP members of the House and 2 Senators, he would not have accomplished much either.
