NBC Nightly News lead story is about Mitt's flip flopping on the pro-choice issue

So at least that's something.

Hopefully it will cost Romney some of the support with women voters he supposedly gained since last week.

If that happens, we will be back in business.

3. I believe Mitts intent is to dupe them to vote for him

He wants moderate women to believe he's prochoice. He knows his base will vote for him no matter what, but overall he wants them to tink that. It's sinister, but it might work for low info mod women. He also risks losing some anti abortion freaks. Obama needs to call his character in to question over this one.

The channels of the MSM are dipping their toes into Romney's lies and seeing whether anybody else will join them. This is great!

Mitt is a complete joke.
His compulsive lying should be a
topic of non-stop national ridicule.
C'mon comedians !!
It's entertainment gold.

9. Has anyone explained how he got that "support" in the first place?

I can't see women actually buying that "pivot to the center" of his, and then ignoring everything he has repeatedly said on women's issues.
