Does Romney think he can really pivot and go after independent women and latinos after spending a year pandering to the angry white male vote?

Not everyone who is pro-life is anti-Planned Parenthood. Lots of women, including many pro-life women, for what is the bulk of their work: women's health.

BTW Latino's are not that different than the rest of the country on social issues and as noted, Romney's anti-immigrant talk is much more salient to them.

Getting back to my point that he seems to think there is no price to pay with independents with this hard right pandering to the base.

Just to show what a loser issue this is, 59% of TEXAS voters oppose Rick Perry's plan to pull funding for Planned Parenthood

...and that's Texas!

More importantly, shutting down PP is something only the hardcore of the GOP care about. It is not a winning position for those all important swing voter white suburban women that Mitt needs if he wants to win.

This along with the problems he has created with Latino voters is going to be fatal in the fall.
