state has rendered the definitive verdict on Willard. He can wave his hands all he wants, but there's no way he can escape the surface similarities of RomneyCare to ObamaCare.
Career-wise, he should have gone for governor of Utah, not Taxachusetts (LOL!). He's a good guy, but he's damaged goods at a deeper level than his likely primary opponent, whose family situation is less tidy.
Mitt was keeping that option open and was trying to portray himself as NOT pro abortion in Utah, while in fact he was a dedicated pro abortion politician and even a fund raiser for Planned Parenthood and Democrats.
