We win lots of elections with that, this was one of the areas of weakness with Romney.

Really? Because I heard Romney say quite clearly at the conclusion of either the 1st or 2nd debate, that he was absolutely 100% pro-life. Now of course, the politically informed among us would draw his MA governing record into question and likely dispute that… but most people don't vote on that basis because they're not that informed.

And no, I don't propose to turn the GOP into the Democratic Party w/ better economics. This is more of a philosophical distinction between individualism vs. collectivism, with the Democratic Party being thoroughly ensconced in the latter.

Obama devastatingly brought it up when he used the term "Romneysia" to describe Mitt's political history. That killed him.

PRESUMPTIVE GOP PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE MITT ROMNEY DISCUSSES HIS POSITION ON ABORTION TONIGHT, ON THE “CBS EVENING NEWS WITH SCOTT PELLEY”

An excerpt will be broadcast tonight, August 27 on the CBS EVENING NEWS WITH SCOTT PELLEY (6:30-7:00 PM, ET) on the CBS Television Network.

PELLEY: Well, the platform as written at this convention for the Republicans does not allow for exceptions on abortion with regard to the health of the mother or rape or incest. Is that where you are?

ROMNEY: No. My position has been clear throughout this campaign. I’m in favor of abortion being legal in the case of rape and incest, and the health and life of the mother.

Everyone knew Romney is flip-flopper. The MSM made sure that message was delivered. And it’s true!
