Romney, who ran, in part in 2008 on his ability to forge consensus on health care in the Bay State, has generally avoided engaging Pawlenty on the issue.
But, when asked about Pawlenty's repeated jabs at his boss, Romney spokesman Eric Fehnrstrom offered a subtle pushback on the idea that the Massachusetts plan is a recipe for health care disaster.
"There's a reason why states and national health care reformers are copying the Massachusetts health care law, and that's because it works," said Fehrnstrom. "Mitt Romney is the only governor in history to get insurance coverage to nearly all his citizens. He got the job done."

And yet many people claiming to be on our side would gladly perform fellatio on Romney.
Unbelievable.

Yeah, unfortunately most states have our share of disappointments - my state of Minnesota is one of the top offenders in voting in nutballs. I can say that my congresswoman is Michelle Bachmann who is a shining light in D.C.

Somebody ask Romney to show us his insurance card. Does his family have to stand in line for health care like the unwashed masses?

Paw is doing something right here I guess, but I still don’t trust him.
