What will the reaction in Freeperville to Romney's performance last night

now that he has rediscovered and embraced his Massachusetts record (i.e. Romneycare, working across the aisle with Democrats) and touted the necessity of "regulation"? Will they be upset or will they simply paper over all of that because their guy is perceived to have "beaten" President Obama like a drum?

They are over the moon that Obama was put in his place by Romney last night. They love seeing Romney beat him up.

From what I could tell online on Twitter and on Morning Joe and elsewhere, they are all incredibly happy.

They don't care whether Romney embraces 'liberal' policies. They want to win at all costs. They don't care what he says or does or whether he is a fake conservative or not.

I think Palin and Hannity were overjoyed too from what I read.

He "slept well" last night was all I heard, so it's clear that he's happy.

It doesn't matter what happened at the debate. They would be saying Rmoney won. That was more predictable than the sun rising in the East.

What they never do is trash their own guy and pass judgment on him. They help with as much as they can, even down to their pathetic board posts.
