What do you mean by 'come around'? You mean, say what he thinks that gullible Republicans want to hear him say and whitewash/cover/spin his liberal history and hope no one brings it up? He's in full campaign mode now. Any changes to his past positions are not just highly suspect or dubious, but clear deception.
Name me a poltician who hasn't changed his position in order to get elected.
You're being naive.
Its actually fairly common for a local politician to change positions on a number of issues when running for national office.
I think Spiff hit the nail on the head. The press is already criticizing Romney for his flip-flops. Hillary is being criticized for her flip-flop on Iraq. Remember how we criticized Kerry for his flip-flop? I think candidates should be judged PRIMARILY by their past words and deeds because they are the only reliable measure! Surely we all know that a candidate will say ANYTHING to get elected. Pandering to one group or another is just part of the corrupt political landscape in America! As for me, I cannot buy into the claim that all these politicians have had an epiphany. Especially when it occurs at election time. I think it is too early to settle on less than a TRUE conservative.
