Whatever happened to that nice reform minded consensus-seeking northeastern moderate...y'know that Mitt Romney guy?
Apparently he has taken to blustery wingnut utterances like this.
Boy oh boy we are far away from that nicey-nice moderate governor that Scot Lehigh and Brian McGrory sighed over aren't we?
But then it really isn't so hard to fool these guys, all a republican candidate has to do is show up and promise a lavish regard for the 1st amendment coupled to the usual fiscal conservative nonsense and most columnists fall over in a swoon.
Why?
Because that line more or less reflects their own prejudices, they want a champion of the first amendment (cause that is how they make their money) and someone who will keep taxes low because most of these guys are making over 100,000 a year. Add it all up and you get an unusual vulnerability to a amateurish opportunist like Romney.
