...by Timothy Egan about the Mitt Romney Dilemma. Romney, despite his myriad shortcomings, is probably the first choice of the Republican establishment for 2012. (Like 2008, it's a weak field.) But the dilemma for Romney is that the health care reform bill that Obama is likely to sign (without a single Republican vote, of course) looks eerily similar to the one that Romney signed when he was governor of Massachusetts. Ouch! I've heard his spin on this and can't remember exactly what it was (which tells you about how good it was). Since Obamacare is almost identical to Romneycare, and since Obamacare is practically anathema to the GOP (not to mention the tea partiers), this should be interesting.
Stay tuned.
