‘The basis for the article is Mitt Romney quotes, all of which have been published widely.’

Thats exactly where you and I disagree. I know what the ‘basis’ is, and it has far more to do with ensuring a Democrat gets elected than it does anything ‘real’ about Romney.

They did the exact same thing in 2000 with Bush. They talked up McCain during the primaries for the same ‘end result’ trying to weaken a GOP candidate before the general election cycle.

The Boston Globe wants a Democrat for President. If Romney wasn’t the leader in most polls, they wouldn’t have bothered. They know he’s looking pretty good to Independents, they know the GOP base will rally around him if he wins...or at least thats what they think.

You might notice my posts aren’t really about Romney either way, its the Boston Globe I have issues with here.

Oh, the Globe is out for revenge on Romney, for sure. It would make them look like fools if he could hoodwink the voters of Massachusetts into springboarding him to higher office, and pull a two-fer by winning the NH primary in the Globe's back yard with completely different positions. There's so much devastating material where Mitt shifts positions, evades questions, etc, much of which the public hasn't heard, and it would be a journalistic disgrace if the Globe couldn't manage to communicate that to their readers.

The thing is, they're the ones with the most information on him, and they're the ones who spend the most time on him.

Quotes are quotes, and the ones in the article are factual.

Romney's statement:

"Probably from a political standpoint and a personal standpoint, the greatest mistake was when I first ran for office, being deeply opposed to abortion but saying, 'I support the current law,' which was pro-choice and effectively a pro-choice position."

is demonstratively false.
