Pretty much every election both Republicans and Democrats run to the edges during the primary and return toward the middle to pick up General Election moderates. Is this really shocking to anyone?

Which conservative positions are those, exactly?
This man, and those around him, meet the very definition of “hollow men.”

Is there a concern that Santorum and Gingrich might force the governor to tack so far to the right it would hurt him with moderate voters in the general election?
Romney's move to the middle will put him somewhere between Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Well of course. And yet some “conservatives” persist in the “anyone but Obama” idiocy.
Yeah, just vote Obama into the GOP and you think it’s bad now? Conservatism is D O N E if Romney is nominated and elected. Done.

Check the source. I suspect this is just agitprop.

“top adviser to Mitt Romney, seems to confirm that the conservative positions Romney has been forced to take during the primary wont be a big deal because he can simply erase them once he becomes the GOP nominee”
Gee, do you mean the positions Romney took during the campaign were all phony and he never believed in any of them? I'm shocked. I never would have expected this in a million years.
Other than Ann Coulter I can't think of anyone who is surprised by this.

Nixon’s advice was to run back to the center once you get the nomination, not run to the left of your opponent..........

What’s sad is that a lot of Freepers even after reading this will still vote for Mitt if he gets the nomination, and rationalize it by thinking anything is better than Obama.

This isn't quite fair. The question was whether he'd be pulled too far to the right to reach the middle. It's bog standard political theory a partisan runs further Left or Right to get his party's nomination and moves away once the nomination is captures. This statement is nothing new or unique to Romney.
Romney's career? Now that means everything.

I cause my liberal friends to go into catatonic shock when I tell them that I would vote for Obama rather than Mitt. I explain that I want to get the real thing rather than an imitation and all Mitt is is an Obama wannabbee. So I would vote for Obama.
ps. Thank God there will be an independent candidate because I would rather slash my wrists than vote for Obama, but I don't tell them that.

** -- begin sarcasm --
but he said he was 'severely conservative!!'

... but then a severe conservative would never be endorsed by the likes of John McCain, Jeb Bush, Bob Dole or Lisa Murkowski.
Romney lies.
