Reasons that Romney is not a flip-flopper, according to Romney:

"I think people understand that I'm a man of steadiness and constancy," Romney responded.

As proof, he cited the fact that he's been "married to the same woman for 25" years -- before correcting himself to say it's been 42.

"I've been in the same church my entire life. I worked at one company, Bain, for 25 years, and I left that to go off and help save the Olympic Games."

"I think it's outrageous the Obama campaign continues to push this idea when you have in the Obama administration the most political presidency we've seen in modern history," he said.

Nobody followed up or challenged him on his answer-even though people only feet away from him attacked him for flip-flopping, and being married to the same woman for a long time & having one job for a long time doesn't mean you can't be a flip-flopper on your policies.

1. Clear that he's repeating memorized lines

He's just mouthing what his handlers have told him to say. He just made the mistake of inserting the 25 years in the blank regarding his marriage instead of the blank regarding his time at Bain Capital. In sum, he's anything but spontaneous. He's robotic and as plastic-looking as his hair.

2. I agree...

but the worst part is that nobody did any follow-up questions to knock him off that rehearsed answer.

3. The "experts" feel that Romney is the only Republican that can challenge Obama ...

but that just shows how weak the Republican field actually is.

Obama will win the next election if the economy shows any signs of improvement and he will beat Romney even if it doesn't. Romney is not just a flip flopper, he is a shape shifter.

4. He's been with his head wife for 42 years. He must have married his second wife 25 years ago. n/t
