merrie says:

I’m sure someone out there will say that Mitt Romney led Bain for profit, not patriotism. But I don’t see why the two have to be mutually exclusive. Neither did Ronald Reagan, for that matter.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney plans to run a “significant” level of television ads in California and other states that vote Tuesday in essentially a national primary, aides said Thursday, signaling a willingness to aggressively try to derail Republican front-runner John McCain.

Romney's opportunity was to go at the central claim of McCain's candidacy, his boast that he is a straight talker. This would have been like liquid Reagan to the conservative critics who dislike McCain's positions on immigration, campaign finance, and taxes but are reduced to sputtering by what they see as McCain's sanctimoniousness. It's why they derisively call him St. John. If Romney had given voice to their critique by arguing that McCain praises himself for truth-telling while trafficking in a distortion, it would have fired up the waiting armies while simultaneously showing that Romney was one of them: <EM>Who cares about his flips and flops?
