If red-meat Romney met moderate Romney, would there be some sort of catastrophic matter/anti-matter explosion?

I kind of like the new guy, who resembles the older Massachusetts version.

It's the one in the middle that worries me.

Or it might be more of a Marty McFly time-travel thing. Dude could be fading out of a family photo even as we speak.

Which Obama do you like better -- the one who imposed the individual mandate in health care or the one who opposed it?

I liked the Obama who supported the public option.

or the one who thought marriage should be defined as between a man and a woman or....

Then there's the Romney who doesn't know what's in his plan:

"One of Mitt Romney's top advisers acknowledged that, as a result [of] Romney's plan to repeal Obamacare, people with pre-existing medical conditions would likely be unable to purchase insurance. The admission directly contradicts the GOP candidate’s claim during the debate that 'pre-existing conditions are covered under my plan' — a contention Romney has repeated on the trail and that his campaign has repeatedly walked back."

I like Obama's shift on gay marriage. Not all change is bad, although in that case I think the original position probably was cravenly political rather than simply out-dated.

But the thing about Romney is not that he changes, as all politicians do, it's that we're seeing these huge tidal movements, sometimes back and forth. That's my point in the post -- if I knew he was going to stick with the main-street Republican governor thing, I'd be a lot happier.

"Two Mittens". Very impressive headline writing. Have you hired new staff? If so, good find. Give that person a raise.
