Romney has changed on those issues to our delight, and he wants to EXPAND Gitmo.
Yeah. The manb has changed on every darned issue. And he can't expand Gitmo without a war.
JimRob published an analysis of FReeper polls about where the candidates stand on various issues.

X = Candidate holds or has record of non-conservative position. W = Weak or mixed positions.
I modified Jim's summary, replacing space with 0, W with 1, and X with 2. The higher the number, the more left-wing lib the candidate. I added a total column to his table.

Romney comes out the most lib of the group. Hunter is (was) the most Conservative. Ron Paul wasn't included in the analysis.
