Classical example of what happens when one blurs the line between what everybody knows and what everybody is supposed to know.
What the electorate should expect from politician is the Truth.
If "everyone" really knew it, it wouldn't be news. The point is that it is something everybody on the inside already knows, but is not stated because some of the benighted sheeple on the outside aren't aware of it, yet.
No, no, the 'news' here isn't that Romney would be ready to ditch his current platform at a moment's notice. Everybody already knew that, it's not like this forum is stuffed with campaign 'insiders' or as if the media haven't been reminding the electorate of some of Romney's previous U-turns over the past 12 months. The news is that the electorate now is told in no unclear terms that it is okay
for them to know Romney doesn't have any real core beliefs.
