This material is all the more devastating when placed in juxtaposition against the Romney we see running for president: same authoritative demeanor, same assurance, same sincerity, and the same apparent strength of conviction in stating his "unwavering" values. Gore and Kerry could end up looking like pillars of consistency compared to Mitt when the other side is through with him.
In many ways he's an appealing candidate on the surface-- I really want to like the guy, but something just isn't right. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt but my Spidey-sense tells me that he may be a manifestly phony man. Now, if his opponent is the manifestly phony Hillary, that's less of a problem. But if his opponent is a seemingly sincere Obama, well ... not good. I may likely end up voting for the guy but I doubt I'll be out in the trenches as a Republican volunteer as in the past. Don't want to be put in the position of having to defend this kind of stuff.

Absolutely correct. Romney could be given a lie detector test and no matter how he answered the question, he’d pass.
