Mitt's fledgling campaign is stumbling all over the place. Man, if this is how he runs a campaign that hasn't even started, just imagine what he can do for the country!

WASHINGTON - The real Gov. Mitt Romney is anti-abortion to the core - and any other position he's taken has all been an act, his chief political adviser revealed in what may have been an unintentionally candid interview.
``He's been a pro-life Mormon faking it as a pro-choice friendly,'' Michael Murphy is quoted as saying in the cover story of the not-yet-released June 20 issue of National Review.
Murphy said he was misunderstood.
``The quote in the National Review article was not what I meant to communicate,'' he wrote on the letterhead of his Washington-based firm yesterday. ``I was discussing a characterization the governor's critics use. I regret the quote and any confusion it might have caused.''
....
Murphy's comments come amid growing speculation that Romney is tacking rightward on the abortion issue in what political observers call a prelude to a possible 2008 presidential bid.
Last month, in nationally published comments, Romney said he is ``in a different place'' on abortion than when he first ran for public office in Massachusetts.
And to think, it was Romney who said during the RNC last year that the country "can't afford a President who comes in 57 Varieties"
Run, Mitt, Run!
