I don’t think this is the sort of earned media Mitt Romney had in mind for the New Hampshire market.

That’s from Sunday’s Boston Herald. I’m not sure what would have happened if Romney had committed a couple years ago to being that one Republican guy who says Obamacare’s not that bad, and that everybody else has lost their minds. Quite possibly it wouldn’t have worked and he’d have been driven out of the party. But at least he’d have a coherent stand to take. Now he’s stuck with this albatross around his neck and my sense is it’s too heavy for even the scrappiest communicators in politics to lift it off him.
