"Scour Romney’s record for a single example of real political courage — a single, solitary instance, however small, where Romney placed principle or substance above his own short- term political interests. Let me know if you find one … His campaign has been an exercise in feeble appeasement. The only thing he appears to be dedicated to is abasing himself to the hard-right wing of the Republican Party. Consider the way he allowed a foreign-policy spokesman to be drummed out of the campaign simply for being gay … Romney flunks the character test. He seems incapable of making the hard, sometimes unpopular, choices that are part of the job," – Gerald Rafshoon, former spokesman for president Carter.
