Waldman intervenes:
There is simply no reason—none—to believe, let alone to assert as though it were an undisputed fact, that the first incarnation of Romney was the "real" one and the current incarnation of Romney is the fake one. Every single issue position that might mark Mitt Romney as a "relative moderate" is something he has cast off, whether it's being pro-choice, or pro-gay rights, or not hating on immigrants. … [I]f you suspect that Mitt Romney is really a moderate, then say it's a suspicion. But don't treat it like a fact.
I think he's an Etch-A-Sketch. Its default mode is blank. But it can change in seconds.
