I wont give it long before someone else from Romney’s camp distances themselves from these comments and/or throws Saul under the bus. Heads will roll. Count on it.

It might be a strategy shift.
Romney moves to embrace ‘Romneycare’

Twice today, Mitt Romney’s campaign has cited the health care bill he signed as Massachusetts governor — seeking credit for something it took pains to explain away during the Republican primary race.
…
Still, some say Romney may be wise to address the issue and suggest conservatives will turn out no matter what.

“It is a bit of a risk, but it would help blunt the ‘Romney wants to take away your health care’ argument,” said independent pollster Brad Coker. “I have a notion that the ‘conservatives are not going to show up’ is a canard. They might not love Romney, but they hate Obama more.”

Romney has generally distanced himself from his health care bill, noting that a Democratic-controlled state legislature made changes that he didn’t necessarily agree with. He has also made a federalist argument, saying that states should be entitled to make such changes, but that Washington shouldn’t institute a national bill.

It remains to be seen whether this was a calculated pivot by the Romney campaign or just some wayward messaging. The campaign has not yet responded to a follow-up question.
