You do give too much credit to the lib talking points, which is a bit disconcerting.
I'll ask again, are you a mitten? And if not do you support a candidate (or plural)?
Well, they bother me.
I am embarrassed to say, I'm not really sure what a "Mitten" is. You said it isn't a pejorative. I am not sure.
Just as Mrs Palin needs a good answer to the "Q" question, Gov. Romney has to have a clear and convincing answer why he signed the present incarnation of "Romneycare" into law.
He has stated that he knew it was flawed, that is, not really what he had originally proposed. So, why did he sign it anyway?
OTOH, he could use his experience to mount a (perhaps convincing) "repeal and replace" argument against Obamacare.
Who knows?
