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? |
The other question is, if Romney's stance at the primaries was the same as the debate last night, would he have still gotten the position as Republican candidate?
A lot of Republican supporters are cheering that he won, but that's probably from a "he's on our team" standpoint. Shouldn't they be upset that his political position is beginning to shift, from what they voted for in the primaries?
