Of course they want Slick Willard. They’ll use the flip-flopping to alienate conservatives and 1%er/Bain stuff to fire up their base. 0bama will beat willard worse than he beat McCain.
And how much effort will that take? Mitt seems to be alienating conservatives pretty effectively without outside help!
A caller on a local (Boston) show offered this: "Ya know why they hate Romney? 'Cause he's a phony -- he's Eddie Haskell! 'Why, you look lovely today, Mrs. Cleaver . . .'"
I'm also afraid Mitt as nominee will depress conservative turnout enough to have diastrous effects on the Congressional elections. Maybe that's just me . . .
