Romney Trys to Overcome Inconsistencies
Republican Mitt Romney Trying to Overcome Inconsistencies in Record

WASHINGTON Feb 27, 2007 (AP)— Republican Mitt Romney titled his book on how he
saved the scandal-ridden 2002 Olympics "Turnaround." Now, as he runs for president,
he's trying to fight the perception that he's committed a few too many turnarounds.

The former Massachusetts governor's equivocations on major issues and outright
position changes on others threaten to derail his nascent 2008 campaign.

As previous White House hopefuls have learned, once a candidate is perceived to have
a pattern of inconsistency, labels like flip-flopper and waffler are extremely difficult
to shake.

Keenly aware of the dangers, Romney is working to convince skeptical Republicans that
he's sincere in his current stances on issues such as abortion and gay marriage that the
party's right wing holds dear and quickly define himself before top rivals John McCain and
Rudy Giuliani do it for him.
