Romney and Al Gore have a lot in common. Education, father in politics, likely thinking at an early age about getting into politics. Almost everyone who goes to Harvard at least thinks about it.

I bet after 9/11 Al Gore thought at least once he got the better deal when the Supreme Court decided for Bush in Bush v. Gore. And I bet George W. Bush at least once thought the same thing.

And I'd have more respect for Romney if he admitted after September and October 2008 that John McCain was dealt a tough hand and it was "better him than me", for the economic changes and for not having to go up against the Obama powerhouse that came out of nowhere to defeat Hillary and then win the election.

Times have changed. Not recognizing that is what's wrong with a Presidential candidate signing the Grover Norquist pledge. And that's what wrong with a candidate who sticks to the same philosophy and plan no matter what the external circumstances.

I want a President who thinks; not one who is straightjacketed.
