Prediction. Romney's weasel wording on abortion is going to hurt him in the polls.

And Christie knows it. That is why he came out and basically said, "Are you going to believe me or your lying ears?" The reason I think this will happen is that it plays into Romney's well known penchant for having it both ways - particularly on this issue. He will lose people not just concerned about this issue on both sides (pro-choice and anti-abortion) but also people for whom this is not a big issue but who were leery of his flip flopping record. People will be more convinced than ever that Mitt will say anything to get elected. This is a major character issue and a big contrast with Obama.
