He'll never be a real conservative nor would he make a good president. He has no character and no integrity.
I have only been lightly following this story, but when I first looked at it I checked into the previous work of this David Bernstein. Let’s keep in mine he is not working for the Globe or the Herald. This is the Boston Phoenix, a privately held company of between 50-200 employees. The guy does not even rate a bio with his education listed, assuming he has a journalism degree at all.
Most of all, when you go to this guy’s name at this Phoenix website, you will see the previous articles he has done on Romney. None are impartial journalism. Here are some titles:

Mitt’s equity army: Romney’s war chest is overflowing with the contributions of his financial-world pals. But what is the price of their loyalty?
Romney’s chicks: Mitt’s kind of women
The rats in Romney’s corner: The dirty tricksters behind Romney’s money
This guy is a far left wing writer and almost certainly has been funded to propagate this story, which is evolving to be a hugely powerful mistake for the left wing. The more this elevates, the more the Romney family is portrayed as a friend of blacks. This can equate to just 2% of elderly blacks peeled off Hillary in November next year, and frankly even if that is only in Michigan it would swing Michigan’s ( his home state) EVs to Romney.
That, people, would be the ballgame. MoveOn has POURED money into Ohio. Ohio has a Democrat Governor now. If the GOP can’t hold it, the EVs to make up for it have to come from elsewhere. Michigan is the prime candidate for a Romney grab and this story is moving in just the right direction to do just that for him in the general election. Keep it going.
