Is Romney a Big Loser in Senate Compromise?

On Twitter, Politico's Ben Smith asks, "At this point, how is current proposal substantially different from Romneycare?"

The answer is, it ain't.

So now, if Obamacare passes, Romney will be left telling angry primary voters that the only real difference between the two plans is that he implemented his policies at the state level, while Obama did it through the federal government. Sure, it's clearly worse if the federal government is implementing bad policies, but it's hard to see how such an argument would pass muster with anybody but those who are already ardent Romney supporters.

Ok, sorry. I see your point.

However, it is rather cool to see the lightning bolts that leave nothing but ozone vapor and magic underwear behind!

It is a tough choice ;-)

Though come to think of it, given how the Romneybots never seem to give up we may have a whole new crop to play with as the election in 2012 draws near.

A whole new crop of Pinatas to whack at!!!

Fun fun fun!!!
