Someone shook the Etch-a-Sketch and he decided to start running a campaign: Romney promises no abortion legislation http://www.pulse.me/ap/69cd1cd...um=referral&utm_source=pulsenews
(Of course even if he managed to hold that opinion for the next few weeks, that says nothing about SCOTUS appointments, or signing laws that came to him that weren't part of his agenda.)

Jezebel: A Brief, Exhausting History of Mitt Romney Fighting With Himself About Abortion

Yeah, at this point I'm falling back on my "organizations will drum up opposition when necessary to get contributions". So far as I can tell, the best thing to do to help Barack Obama's campaign is to donate to Romney's, and pretty much vice-versa.

If you can't find a counter argument to their position that doesn't make you sound like a dumbass then the only strategy left is to marginalize them or ignore them. You also get people to think of them in terms of which of the mainstream candidates they will hurt rather than what they would do should they win.

I'm coming to the conclusion that the only candidates worth voting for (rather than against) are the ones who get ignored or shut-out of the larger political process.

Hey, he's getting attacked from both sides? Maybe I need to reconsider him.

From the left, Media Matters calls out Romney's new stance, and he's taking flack from the right (AP article, so it'll probably disappear).
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
