As much as I admire Romney’s economic brain power...he hurt himself badly with not just ‘Masscare’ but with his interview with O’Reilly recently. Instead of admitting the mistake, he defended it.
From a basic math standpoint, his defense simply doesn’t hold up under scrutiny. Further, from a pure political standpoint, he should have admitted it was a mistake, one he learned from, and won’t repeat again if hired by ‘We the People’.
JMHO. And a lot of Freepers know I supported Romney in 08 here, and did so recently. And flamed me for it repeatedly (laughing).
I don’t know if he can overcome this. Then again, I never thought McCain could overcome 7 and a half years of bashing his own party, his own party’s seated President, just to send a tingle up Chris Mathew’s leg on MSNBC....
” Instead of admitting the mistake, he defended it.”

Right, he still fails to recognize that it was a mistake. - For that reason, he would be unacceptable even as VP.
