Look out Frist, McCain, et al, Mitt's a-comin', and he's trying to look like he can cross the aisle on important issues! (This is by no means an endorsement of Mitt--I find him quite scary--but I think this health care deal just leapfrogged him to the head of the GOP pack).   bettyd Citizen Username: Badjtdso Post Number: 183 Registered: 12-2005 Posted on Thursday, April 6, 2006 - 3:15 pm:        Talk about a guy who flip flops. When he ran for governor of MA he was solidly committed to a woman's right to choose. Now that he is considering a run for president and needs the rightie base he is staunchly anti-abortion. I guess he is only for it (or against it) to save the life of the candidate.   Eats Shoots & Leaves Citizen Username: Mfpark Post Number: 3220 Registered: 9-2001 Posted on Thursday, April 6, 2006 - 4:01 pm:        Great line about saving the life of the candidate. My thought is it is a Massachussetts thing--he was for it before he was against it.   cjc Citizen Username: Cjc Post Number: 5510 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Thursday, April 6, 2006 - 4:06 pm:        bettyd -- if what you say is true about Romney, then it's the reverse of what Clinton, Gore and Gephardt went through for national aspirations.   dawny Citizen Username: Day Post Number: 56 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Thursday, April 6, 2006 - 7:30 pm:        Anybody who can build consensus in a state like MA to pull off near universal healhcare w/ everybody pulling part of the load has gotta have something going on. Never a fan but this would look pretty good on a national resume.   MichaelaM Citizen Username: Mayquene Post Number: 151 Registered: 1-2004 Posted on Wednesday, April 12, 2006 - 12:02 am:        I distinctly recall Kennedy and Bush nearly kissing each others ***es when Bush came up to Boston on the day he signed No Child Left Behind a few years ago. I could have vomited from the stench of feigned friendship.
