I can’t really agree with this. IMO, the “Real” Romney was Gov. Romney. He’s been doing a half-hearted Tea Party Dog and Pony Show for awhile because that’s been the requirement to get on stage at the GOP. If nominated he can float back to the center where he came from and hope that he wont lose the kooks because he’s not “Teh Black Maoist Kenyan Upsurper!!11ty”.

I don’t think it’s going to work this time around. Kerry tried the same think in ‘04, pushing himself way to the Left during the primaries to win over the Dean supporters, but when it came time for the general, he’s already been tarred and feathered as an anti-war hippie in a year when the War in Iraq was still the big-ticket item.
