Given McPain’s Liberal sellouts , he does have a somewhat Conservative track record on certain issues . Romney has a decidedly Liberal track record with a whole lot of Conservative flip-flop talk .
What’s your take ?

I’d say Governor Romney at his worst was essentially a pragmatic governor in a liberal state, as opposed to a crusading socialist. There’s no way for any of us to know whether his conversions to conservative policy positions have happened at the heart level or only at the political level, but even if it’s the latter, he’s painted himself into a corner where he’d lose his political viability if he didn’t actually pursue those policies.
When you’re wrong on issues, as Governor Romney clearly has been, flip-flopping is a good thing. Senator McCain, in contrast, has never repudiated his past liberal sellouts.
