Will Romney Flip on Minimum Wage?
Position as Governor at Odds With Republican's '08 Ambitions



==Automatic increases to the state minimum wage were a key part of Mitt Romney's campaign platform for governor -- No. 39 on the list of promises he offered Massachusetts voters in 2002.

Now that Romney is seeking the 2008 Republican nomination for president, he is shying away from minimum wage indexing at the federal level.==

==The politics of automatic increases in the minimum wage are dicey for Romney: If he sticks with the position he staked out while running for governor of one of the most liberal states in the country, he runs the risk of alienating the pro-business groups that are critical to winning the GOP nomination. At the same time, if he abandons his previous support for minimum-wage indexing, he will renew questions as to whether his '08 positions stem from conviction or calculation.==

==While campaigning for governor in 2002, Romney pledged to raise the state's minimum wage to $6.94 per hour. He also advocated linking future increases to inflation growth, a process called "indexing." His campaign was "so proud of its worker-friendly position," according to a 2006 story in the Sentinel & Enterprise, that it posted a "message to union members" on its campaign Web site, touting the candidate's support for wage indexing.==
