Romney Wimps Out

Condoleezza Rice on Romney's short list was a tantalizing story.  She could have been a game changer--appealing to independents, but challenging to a portion of his base.  It had the potential to replace discussions of Bain and tax returns.

But as soon as Romney received pressure from conservative groups he stepped on the story that his campaign had so carefully leaked.  Romney assured some conservative groups that Rice would not be the nominee, and publicly declared that his selection would be pro life (Rice is on record as saying she is mildly pro choice).

Another Romney flip has flopped.
