I have NO expectation that Romney would revert to ANY of his previous liberal stances, especially on abortion...

Revert? Did he ever leave? (Or perhaps you'd like to become an apologist for what Romney told Katie Couric below about 1,600 days ago:

YEAR Obvious Pro-Abortion Romney Romney Feigning 'Pro-Life'
December 2007 vs. November 2011 (Pro-treating offspring as research refuse late in previous POTUS campaign vs. now claiming 'never changed...always pro-life' December 4, 2007: Romney: ...surplus embryos...Those embryos, I hope, could be available for adoption for people who would like to adopt embryos. But if a parent decides they would want to donate one of those embryos for purposes of research, in my view, that's acceptable. It should not be made against the law." (Source: Candidates Reveal Their Biggest Mistakes) Any "inquiring minds" want to try wrapping their minds around how a politician in one sentence mentions "adopting" embryos out (yes, a great thing to mention!) -- but then in the very NEXT breath says if a "PARENT" wants to be "pro-choice" (Mitt used the word "decides" which is what "pro-choicers" say they want) "to donate one of those embryos for purposes of research, in my view, that's acceptable." Say what???? How about 8-month gestationally-aged infants in the womb, Mitt? Or already-born infants, too, Mitt? If a "parent decides they would want to donate one of those...for purposes of research, in my view, that's acceptable..." No??? What's the 'pro-life' difference, Mitt? Here you call an embryo's mom&dad "parents" -- but "parents" w/ "research" give-away rights? How bizarre we have such a schizophrenic "candidate!" In the past you’ve said he’s changed positions only once, on abortion. Was that your doing? No, no, I never talked to Mitt about that. Our personal opinions have never changed; we’ve always been pro-life (Ann Romney Reveals Mitt's Softer Side)

Unless, of course, STC, YOU are willing to come on these threads and announce: "Yup, I just 'donated' my son/daughter/grandson/granddaughter to 'research'...and I'm 'pro-life'."

THAT should be the commercial run...a Romney quote from about two months before he quit his last campaign...advocating the 'researchability' of offspring....

You continue to assume that Romney has core beliefs that he will revert to. I doubt it.

To solidify conservative backing for 2014 and 2016, I expect shameless opportunist Romney, the man without a core, to be the most zealous advocate and practitioner of constitutional conservatism as president including, as I said, getting advanced blessing from the Federalist Society for his SCOTUS nominations.
