I hope people actually view your link, because Romney flatly stated that Obama was far too state-oriented, and was taking us towards a European-type system that doesn't work. He didn't use the word "socialist" because he thinks it is loaded politically, and might lose him some votes in the middle to people who think it is extremist language. But overall, all his criticisms of Obama in that clip were dead-on conservative criticisms.

Romney's problem hasn't been liberal rhetoric. He's been great rhetorically on the free market system throughout the campaign. His problem is his record as Governor. But if I knew that I'd get campaign-rhetoric Romney, including this clip, I'd be thrilled. It's just that we can't be sure that's the guy we'd actually get.

He won’t use the word for fear he’ll lose votes. That tells me he’ll get rolled if he were to be elected. He claims to be different than the D.C. politicians. Actually his mindset is already there. He’ll be just like the crowd there now that puts their finger into the wind on every issue. He’ll be unable to change anything. It’s McCain II.
