Obama says Romney is running

[Bull Moose Base]

Mitt's running obviously.  I read this as Obama trying to push back against the FOXGOP narrative that the country rejected his  "Leftist" agenda.  Obama has, correctly in my view, instead called this a ref. on the economy.  So Obama has done 3 things to solidify his image as centrist.  Explain the stimulus and auto bailout were emergency measures not the core of his philosophy.  Explain that the so-called "socialist healthcare" was very similar to that of Romney (who even if he doesn't win the Republican nomination, will do well) and- to the chagrin of his base- signal a willingness to compromise.
