Well, it turns out our Founders designed a system that makes it more difficult to bring about change than I would like sometimes.
Like Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5, perhaps?

...he belieeeeeeeves the grassroots movement that propelled him to victory in 2008 will help him win a second term.

Surreptitiously calling out for more voter fraud, plain and simple in my book.
He's telling everybody that he can't win without some help, even if it's illegal.

Just run as a Democrat and be done with it, Mitt.

Interesting... I teased Obama about using the whole “Hope and Change” line after I saw the beginning of the 1992 Presidential Debate and Clinton's opening remark saying, “I represent real hope for change” (exact quote)! So, only TWO years after Clinton's campaign uses that to beat HW Bush, Romney and his aides are so impressed that THEY use the same slogan?

Hmmm... IIRC, weren't Republicans at that time running on a slogan with Gingrich's “Contract with America”? I don't recall many running that didn't go with something along those lines - certainly Republicans at that time wouldn't WANT to be associated with the lines spewed by then President Clinton's campaign. (Doesn't surprise me about Romney, though - it's just interesting).

Here's a link to the ‘92 debate between Bush, Clinton and Perot (Part I). Clinton's spiel begins at the 4:25 mark (a one-minute rebuttal to Perot's answer for “What separates you from the other candidate's on the stage”).
