Smooth talking Mitt Romney had yet another rough weekend. The Boston Globe reported that conservative activist Brian Camenker is preparing to release a second report highlighting Romney’s efforts to distance himself from his real record, this time focusing on adoption by gay parents. The Standard-Times reported that Romney’s failed leadership forced a prominent Massachusetts conservative activist and radio commentator to leave the Republican Party. A new report revealed that Romney’s signature health care plan will cost participants almost twice what he promised. A Boston Globe columnist blasted Romney for his time away from Massachusetts last year, calling Romney the state’s "ambassador to Iowa" and saying Lieutenant Governor Kerry Healy could have run for governor as the incumbent.
"This weekend brought more bumps in the road for smooth talking Mitt Romney’s campaign," said Democratic National Committee spokesman Damien LaVera. "The harder Romney tries to smooth talk conservative Republican primary voters into ignoring his record, the harder Romney’s real record fights back."
Certainly Romney isn’t the only Republican top-tier presidential wannabee that the DNC is cranking on. Any one who demonstrates any sort of potential as a serious contender will be open to the full brunt of mud slung by a motivated Democratic Party. It’s just that given the total 180 degree shift that Mitt has had on nearly every issue, backed up with video footage and press accounts, he seems an especially easy target for the ravenous DNC.
