3. This 200 page document contains an amazing amount of info on Romney ...

There's lots of interesting data on Bain Capital. The section on flip-flops is also fascinating. I'll excerpt a bit of this portion.

FLIP-FLOPS

Northeastern University’s William Mayer: “After Studying Presidential Nominations For 30
Years, I’ve Never Seen Somebody Who Has So Completely Renounced His Past Record When
He Decided To Run For President.” (Jill Zuckman, “Romney’s On A Roll, In The Money And The Polls,” Chicago Tribune,
5/22/07)

TOP ROMNEY TURNAROUNDS

ABORTION: Romney Was Pro-Choice, Then Not Pro-Choice, Then Pro-Choice Again, Then Pro-Life
In 1994, Romney Backed Federal Funding Of Abortion And Codifying Roe v. Wade. “Romney supports a federal health care plan option that includes abortion services, would vote for a law codifying the 1972 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion and backs federal funding for abortions as long as states can decide if theywant the money, [a spokesman] said.” (Ed Hayward, “Anti-Abortion Group Endorses Romney Bid,” Boston Herald, 9/8/94)

1999: Romney Claimed “When I Am Asked If Am I Pro-Choice Or Pro-Life, I Say I Refuse To Accept Either
Label.” (Glen Warchol, “This Is The Place, But Politics May Lead Romneys Elsewhere,” The Salt Lake Tribune, 2/14/99)

2007: Romney Now Claims He Has Always Been Pro-Life. “I am firmly pro-life … I was always for life.” (Jim
Davenport, “Romney Affirms Abortion Opposition During Stop In SC,” The Associated Press, 2/8/07)

Now I can see why McCain felt Palin was a better choice for VP than Romney.
