Remind you of another Massachusetts politician? "Can I Get Me a Hunting License Here?"

He’s whatever you want him to be...a true actor.

But don’t quote me on that...ask my lawyer.

Someone is spamming keywords with “already posted” and “posted already”. Show me, because I searched & just now searched again...

Duplicate post.

Duplicate thread. Already posted.

And calling Romney names doesn’t make Thompson any more credible or any more conservative.

IMO, Romney is the Republican version of Bill Clinton. With either Fred or Rudy, what you see is what you get. If Romney is so “changeable” now, how can we know that he will do what he says he will do once he gets in office?

If the pro-aborts, homosexual activists, leftist greens, global warming advocates, gun grabbers, high taxers and big government, anti-war socialists are against Romney, heck, I’m starting to really like the guy..........

Does Massachusetts even have a runoff law?

As I recall, Vermont has one of sorts — strictly speaking if the leading candidate receives less than 50%, then the decision goes to the state legislature. It happened a few years ago, with Douglas (R) getting 49% or so and the Democrat getting maybe 42%. The Democrat waived his right to the decision going to the legislature, even though Democrats controlled it at the time. It didn’t matter much; Douglas was a RINO as I recall.

Connecticut does not — Rowland (R) won with about 38% one year, with the rest going to the Democrat and then to the Connecticut Party (a Lowell Weicker-inspired party) candidate.

"To Mitt Romney, politics is just another product," says Jeffrey Berry, a professor of politics at Tufts University and longtime Romney watcher. "Products can be recast, reshaped and remarketed in endless ways. Now, that might sound cynical, but Mitt isn't a charlatan. He's simply had so much success in the business world that his approach in that realm seems like the natural way of doing things."

This is Mitt's real problem. He really does see it this way.

To win, Mitt needs to tell us what he really believes and make us believe he won't flipflop on those issues.

A pol can make over his image and even many positions he's held. But he has to convince the voters that he's sincere and has some real passion for subjects they care about.

Currently, Mitt is a little too scripted. He's almost a little punchy, he's been drilled so much by his campaign team.

He won't get the nomination unless a lot of us get a strong feeling that we really know who Mitt is and what he really believes. One of the things I wonder about is what Mitt will really do once in office. He's just so, well, flexible.

I thought earlier in the campaign, we saw more of the real Mitt at times. For instance, in that one debate, he was asked about the actions of Catholic bishops and he said, very off the cuff, that it was none of his business what Catholic bishops said or thought. Clearly, he also meant he didn't care what they thought about Mormon bishops. It was a very good answer. It was a very honest and unscripted kind of answer. I had the impression that I knew exactly what he thought about that subject. Mitt needs to do a lot more of that.

Being an undisciplined candidate will lose you an election. But being overscripted is a problem too. A candidate has to find the right balance before a huge variety of audiences.

Ann Coulter talked about how Romney snookered liberals into thinking he was moderate in MASS last fall at her CPAC talk. It's why she praised him (along with her other choice Hunter).

Anyone who can make liberals cry this much is a genuis.

'Hearts Were Broken'

the political version of buyer's remorse

NARAL....phoned the governor's office but, she says, he never called back.

"We felt completely played,"

Log Cabin Republicans were saying they'd been snookered.

If the gay-rights crowd sounds bitterly disappointed, the state's environmentalists sound like they'd gotten punk'd.

...it builds up your hopes and breaks your heart even more."

Of course liberals have conservatives best interest at heart now don't they in trying to tell us the "truth" about how "moderate" Mitt was? Out of the goodness of their hearts they just don't want us conservatives to fall into the same trap they fell in to. Obviously the fact that they are producing hit pieces on him has nothing to do with the fact that he could slay Hilary in the general election and the debates. Really they just don't want us to get hurt too.

Why do liberals sound like 8th graders crying about boyfriends and trying to bad mouth him to the school?

That's a cheap shot. John Kerry never held a job in the private sector. Mitt Romney ran a successful business.

John Kerry was all about himself. Mitt Romney did much for his family, church, business, state, and country.

If you are saying Romney's an egotist, is he any more of one than other politicians are?

If you want to say that he cheated the left, so one can't expect him to be on the up-and-up with the right, you may have a point.

But the way I look at it, Romney gave the liberals who'd ruined Massachusetts politics a taste of their own medicine, and it was worth it. I only wish he'd stayed on to finish the job.

Any way you cut it.... still Morman.
