In all seriousness, the rest of the country probably doesn't appreciate what Mitt went through in that process. Politics in Massachusetts can be a strange beast. The public consistently votes OVERWHELMINGLY Democrat but VERY often puts a Republican in the corner office. That makes for strange bedfellows if you want to get anything done.
Actually DJ, the notion is that "Romney is the father of ObamaCare".

I absolutely agree with you on the Massachusetts thing DJ. Romney said a lot of the things in his failed, but darn close, bid to unseat Sen. Ted Kennedy for the Massachusetts Senate seat, and then in his campaign for Governor that people are pointing to as flip-flops now.

Now he's paying the price for those statements, and well he should. How are you supposed to know where he really stands if he'll flip his thoughts for political gain. We have to take him at his word now; but has he earned that?

Mitt Romney has been elected to office ONCE. He won a notable election for governor in 2002 in the "bluest" state in the nation, and then decided not to try to repeat that feat. He's been running for President ever since.

If he captures the nomination I will vote for him and hope he at least issues the ObamaCare waivers he's promised. Nothing else I can do at that point.
