Romney to Flip-flop If He Wins Convention

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Some things to consider:

1. What people consider to be flip flopping differs greatly

2. The person who would most need to flip flop is not Romney but Santorum as Santorum has been the one to take more extreme positions and talk about less than important issues.

Romney will most likely repudiate the Arizona Immigration Law (and other state laws he has had the misfortune of commenting on. I have some ideas on how this will play out but that isn't the subject of this thread). He was also insist that he has been totally misrepresented and always supported gov't financial support for management bankruptcy of auto companies (this actually isn't completely untrue). Talk of federal right to work will go away.

Then there is whatever constitutes a likely olive branch to Ron Paul and his people. I almost want to say this will occur whether Romney needs the delegates or not. Either him realizing their importance the way Mike Steele did or it being forced on him by the Ninjas.

But Romney's general focus on the economy, defict and such won't change. They are the issues of the day and the issues which the election will likely hinge, possibly along with healthcare.

The DNC already has an Etch-A-Sketch web ad up:

The irony is the Dems are arguing this is proof that Romney is going to try to hide his true extreme agenda and Santorum and Gingrich are arguing that he is hiding his true moderate agenda

Is there a single issue where Romney's current position is to the left of Bush?

You will reveive an automated response in the affirmative sometime in mid August.

I guess the thinking of this adviser is that if he reveals that Romney has plans for the general election campaign to repudiate the conservative positions he has taken in order to win the nomination, it will increase pressure on Romney not to. 

Just a thought. 

Actually that is not as crazy as it sounds. This isn't the first time that Romney or his allies were allegedly undermined by either disloyalty or the advancement of alterior motives by campaign staff.
