If you want to claim Romney was the same man he was when he was governor in Mass... then kindly 'splain why he turned his back on his own healthcare plan? Why he turned coat on abortion, (or for that matter why his positions on EVERYTHING took a hard right turn)
I'll help you out with a hint: The far right in the GOP DEMANDED it before considering him for the nomination.
You want to take a moderate and turn him far right? Fine ... go ahead. But don't expect to have your cake and eat it too. No one is going to see him as a moderate anymore.
Yet another reason he lost.
The right didn't "turn him" anywhere. He turned himself.
We didn't believe him.
But you still voted for him. 35% of voters described themselves as conservative. Romney won that group 82% to 17%
Romney didn't lose because the far right didn't trust his conservatism.
Those who described themselves as moderates (41% of voters) went for Obama 56% to 41%.
THAT'S where Romney lost the election.
