This isn’t just a Romney problem but he could be the poster child for this behavior. Republicans need to learn to stop saying anything positive about Democrats. Unless they die, they get cancer or their dog gets run over you just don’t say nice things about the enemy. The press will manipulate it and use it against you. Politics today is not a gentleman’s sport.

The problem is, with our professional politicians, there *is* no right or wrong, and there *are* no enemies. It’s like trial lawyers — they argue against each other in court, then go out for drinks afterwards.
Pols are all members of the same fraternal organization.
It’s not a good situation, particularly since most (R)s are stupid and gullible as well as buddy-buddy with the ones that should be their enemy.
