Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) just announced (via Twitter) that Mitt Romney signed their “Taxpayer Protection Pledge.” This strikes me as both good and weird.

It’s obviously good because it means that the frontrunner for the GOP nomination has sworn off tax increases. It is weird because of the timing. It’s weird because just last week, Mitt Romney refused to sign The Susan B. Anthony List’s pro-life pledge.
