That's the deal, right there... A 'Road to Damascus' conversion is a very common thing during election cycles. How anyone takes any polititian at his word while he is on the election stump escapes me entirely.

“To accept Romney at his word would require both proof and time.”
False logic.
All it requires is that I accept his word.
Especially in the face of the only alternative.
