Poor Mitt Romney.

He’s running for the presidency in the age of the World Wide Web, YouTube and the smartphone — where evidence of past statements and deeds pops up constantly to haunt a man trying desperately to reinvent himself.

Besides, he lacks the pure chutzpah of a conscience-free Newt Gingrich, who can brush off yesterday’s principles like dandruff off his shoulder pads. Romney always seems inauthentic, whereas Newt just seems, well, like himself.

So, as Romney prepares a major speech to reverse update his stance on health care reform, here’s video of the old Mitt, who loved the individual mandate way back in 2007 (h/t DailyKos TV):

1. If he had even the tiniest set, he MIGHT point out that Romneycare actually worked well...
and it was suggested by Repubs for national healthcare. But he's too afraid to call B.S. on his own party, and instead insists on joining in.

2. He's a "Flip Flopper". I want in on the flip flip concession that will greet him
at the nominating convention. Anyone remember those fools walking around with miniature flip flops hanging from their hats & sunglasses in '04?

I'm sorry, but I don't think Romney will the the party's nominee, but if by some miracle he does, there's just way too much ammunition. It's a gift almost.
