Obama team zeroes in on Romney - TheHill.com
An interesting article on President Obama's reelection team picking on presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney. Axelrod points out that when he was running for governor of Massachusetts he was a moderate who was pro-choice and supported civil unions for gay people.
It reminds me of another President, George H.W. Bush who was one of those New England Republicans who usually were moderate on social issues and conservative on economic ones. He ran that way against Reagan and lost. The next time he ran to the right, throwing away his convictions, and won.
Another example is John McCain, who had a real shot at the White House. A very reasonable man until he prostituted his convictions in his lust for the Presidency.
