Mitt Romney is still clarifying his views on abortion and answering critics by pushing his views ever farther to the right.
The charge of craveness has been leveled against the former Viceroy of Massachusetts, that may weight heavily on him as the GOP primary process unfolds.
On the other hand it has been my observation that the right wing will make a deal with almost any useful halfwit or no talent geek in order to retain power.
And being essentially a political mollusk, Romney will happily say yes to almost any insane wingnut proposal if it'll keep the sordid likes of Grover Norquist and falangists like William Donohue on his side.
Mind you, that does not mean Mitt will actually follow thru with any of those promises, not if it occasions a serious threat to his popularity or political manueverability. We here in Massachusetts have seen him walk away from a dozen or so trivial to difficult fights these past four years...trust me if it is one thing Mitt is good at it is the art of bluster driven empty threats.
Ah but all that is for the future, right now Mitt's plan looks good on paper, raise a lot of money, wait for Guiliani and McCain to get into some savage death struggle and then hand-job the radical right into backing Romney.
Yup...looks tres formidable, except that it didn't work for John Connolly in 1980 or Pierre DuPont in 1988 or Steve Forbes in 1992, and it may not work for the Former Viceroy either.
