That might fly if Romney could argue that Romney-care sucks (which it does) so it is good that it was limited to one state. But he can't argue that, nor has he tried. He has no choice now but to defend it or get creamed.
If he argues it sucks now that causes him problems too..
Romney is no limited federal power state guy. He has never argued that for any issue except this one he is trapped in so almost no one will follow his logic, if you can call it that. He has already been on record suggesting that the Federal government impose parts of Romney-care
He is in a trap of his own making.
Hey, you’re preaching to the choir here. I’m just trying to make lemonade out of the lemmon. I said, back before Cain dropped out, that the worst nominee would be Romney because Obamacare was obama’s Achilles heel and it is based on Romneycare, effectively making him the worst possible choice.
But, here we are. ;-)
Meanwhile, Romneycare is different from Obamacare in many ways, and one of the biggest ways it is different is that it affects only one state. This forces the state to take into account that people CAN flee the state if it is impacting them negatively. This keeps the state from going crazy with what they offer and tax.
At the federal level, there is no “competition from other states” and therefore there are no checks and balances, as the SCOTUS just proved.
All that being said, if I thought who wins in November really mattered all that much, I’d be really depressed.
