Suicide By Romneycare, Or Why Etch-a-Sketch Matters By Mark
I’ve warned conservatives for nearly as long as I’ve been blogging that to nominate Mitt Romney is to commit an act of electoral suicide. I’ve told you that when it comes time to run the general election campaign, Romney will abandon all of this talk about repealing Obamacare because he will be toast on this issue. Barack Obama knows this too, and it’s the reason every Democrat in Washington wants to see a Romney candidacy. For once, we got a little insight into the coming Romney betrayals, when his longtime Campaign adviser and Communications Director Eric Fehrnstrom on Wednesday likened Mitt Romney to an etch-a-sketch in terms of their ability to re-shape the campaign once the general election campaign begins. This was an admission of what would really happen to all of his talk about being a conservative should Mitt Romney secure the party’s nomination.
I’ve urged the other candidates to hammer Romney on this point, and to their credit, they have, but without debates lately, they’re not making much headway in the media that largely favors Mitt Romney, so the point isn’t being made. Consider it another gift, because now we get a little help from an unlikely source, who made mention of this issue, although not by name. The source? Barack Obama.
