Oh, I have no doubts he will govern as a liberal, but his campaign will be ruthless. Either he isn’t at the point where he needs to bring Wright, which may be the case because noboby is paying attention, or his research says it won’t help him. I do think Romney is to the left of McCain, but his campaign isn’t going to roll over like McCain’s. Romney would crawl over burning coals to be president.
I am guessing the Chicago machine may have found something pretty damaging (maybe Mormon related) , and they came to one of those so called “gentleman’s agreements”. Romney is too nasty of a campaigner to just let this slide.
