| gergroy said: ok, I've been looking at a lot of analysis about the debate and I have a question for you guys. Do you think the Romney you saw last night was more real than what we have seen from him for the last year? I ask this question because Romney took a lot of moderate positions last night. His tax plan doesn't actually look that conservative anymore as he isn't really reducing the tax burden. Romney just looked a lot more moderate than he has been. Now, Romney comes from a moderate background and has sharply turned right for the primaries. So is Romney really a Moderate hiding as a right wing conservative, or is Romney a conservative hiding as a moderate? |
Yeah. I mean Romney was even more moderate then he was in the debate before he ran for president. Some would even say liberal. He is Mass afterall.
He went out of his way to get gay voters by suggesting "full equality" back when even most democrats weren't supporting gay marriage.
That said, I think it's less of a shift then you'd think... and it's been a shift that's been happening since the priamaries, it just hasn't been noticed because of the ridiculious number of democratic attack ads.
