Even Medved and Hewitt are saying pretty much the same thing.

More and more I'm convinced that Medved is outing himself as someone who's been playing a role for the last 20 years--a hard-leftist pretending to be a conservative. He does come from leftist stock after all and was a lefty in the 1960s. He's also too smart not to see through Mitt Romney like 10 year old underpants.

Therefore, I think he sees in Romney a chance to neuter the Republican party as a vehicle for conservatism forever. And he's in a position to convince conservatives to commit ideological suicide.

May his audience shrink to oblivion. *spit*

I don’t think he’s playing a role. But I do think the old attraction to big government from those days still flickers inside him. The power just needs to be wielded more effectively, that’s all.

As for Romney, I have no problem if someone thinks he has the best chance to beat Obama. Just make your case, and make legitimate critiques of Cain’s handling of these accusations. I think that’s fair. Piling on is just giving comfort to the enemy who’ll use the same tactics in the general election soon enough.
