Romney, consummate shape-shifter (he's shifty alright)

Romney has assumed as many positions as a double-jointed streetwalker.

I really can't remember when I have seen anybody change positions with such alacrity or assert the opposite of a position he formerly propounded with such utter tranquility ("Pre-existing conditions?? my plan covers that!" ...Obama thought bubble: "Say WHAAAAT???!!!&quot .

Shapeshifting out of your stated positions may throw a debate opponenet off balance for a bit, but voters will sooner or later wonder if such a 'player' is on the level at all and punish him for it -- unless of course, the voters subconsciously think they deserve to be abused.
