Is anyone else struck by this? Especially after reading Kathryn Jean Lopez's fawning interview with Mitt Romney (HT: Jay), it seems to me that Mitt Romney is positioning himself as the guy to vote for if you want more of what you've had for the last eight years. From what I've seen, there is absolutely nothing in what Romney's been saying lately (as opposed to in 1994 or 2002), whether on Iraq, gay rights, abortion, stem cell research, tax cuts, or just about any other issue I can think of, that's in any respect different from current administration policy. Incidentally, current public approval of the Bush Iraq policy is a stunning 28%, and overall Bush approval is 36%.
Yet Romney wants to run as George W. Bush.
Isn't that kind of an odd strategery?
