Nice article in the New York Observer (by Steve Kornacki) "The Two Faces Of Mitt Romney" which details some of the flip flops that Romeny has made as he moves to the hard right for 2008. Easy to see why the conservative right wing do not trust him.

Romney's term as MA Governor, most residents agree, can pretty much be termed a disaster in almost ever sense of the word and was the main reason he didn't run for re-election (don't believe his campaign spin, it is hard to run for Pres. when you can get re-elected). He topped off his failure of a term with his short sighted trooper immigration policy and drastic cuts in funds including money for the mental health services and state projects like park programs for the children in MA to only name a few. Of course in the last year plus he has tried to evolved into a right wing conservative, and the New York Observer article does a good job in showing how either he was lying then or is lying now. Either way conservatives are right not to trust him and it will lead to primary defeat in 2008.
Thanks the guys over at Blue Mass Group for pointing out the Link.
