Earlier in the day, a video made the rounds of Mitt Romney debating Ted Kennedy. In the 13 year old clip, Romney called himself a moderate Republican and took a pro-choice position (while tacitly admitting his personal problems with abortion). While I still think this is pretty weak-tea for Romney-bashers, when nothing is all you got you learn to love it. Andrew Sullivan, for one, ate it up.
I offer this post not to address the fundamental issues regarding Romney’s conservative nature. Been there, done that, will no doubt be doing it again. (He is, and I can prove it. More importantly, through his actions, Romney has proved it.)
But let’s not talk about that. Instead, please consider this post another chapter in how Mitt and his campaign are Smarter than Your Average Bear.
To offer his counterpoints in the blogosphere where this is a matter of conversation, Romney did a podcast this afternoon with Professor Reynolds and his better half. But wait – there’s more. While Romney was on the phone with the Reynoldses, his campaign filmed him. A short while ago, the Romney campaign posted the video of him addressing the 13 year old clip on YouTube.
This is not only rapid response, but intelligent response. You’ll be saying it too by the end of the campaign – Romney is Smarter Than The Average Bear.
