It doesn't take Plouffe or Axelrod or even Carville to write the script on this one. Romney is quite simply "neutered" on the topic. The healthcare issue may fire up the masses, but it is a non-starter for Romney.
I believe all of us who were supporters of Newt or Santorum said such during the primaries. Romney is the worst candidate to put up against Obama because of his own health care record in Mass. Now it is coming to fruition. Hate to say “we told you so” to the Repub. establishment, but “we told you so”. But, sad to say, I don’t think they really care.
