Having no backbone, Romney can slither into any political position. In an offbeat tribute to the passing of George McGovern, Mitt's bellicose blather transformed into peacenik prattle. He adopted so many Obama policies that he might be angling to replace Biden on the ticket. When Romney molted into moderate Mitt in the first debate, it left Obama speechless, much to his detriment. This time the president was ready. It was a clear victory. In a few days we will see if it had any impact on the polls.
Never has a candidate moved to the center so late in a campaign. Amazingly conservatives, ever distrustful of Romney, have acquiesced. Their summer of discontent with the campaign, left them willing to accept any path to possible victory.
As a side note, Romney made a subtle plea to Jewish voters, that has gone unnoticed by the pundits. On about ten occasions he used the word "tumult," hardly country club parlance. It is a quasi Yiddish word commonly used by older, and religious, Jews, often with the actual Yiddish word, "tsouris." If you go back and watch the debate you will see it sounds forced, each time he uses it.
