Ewww, this is messy. Bill O’Reilly comes at Romney pretty hard on RomneyCare and Mitt’s responses make him sound a wee bit slippery and oh so 2008. If Romney thinks admitting that the Feds pick up half the tab for RomnyCare and it doesn’t lower cost, is somehow a winning argument, then he is in for one hell of a shocker.
I don’t see how Romney will be able to defend these points from the attacks that will come from other GOP nominees. Both Palin and Huckabee know how to deliver blunt and brutal attacks with a smile. The two of them can easily punch holes in Romney’s answers with clever little sound bites.
Yesterday, commenter Lisa asked why Romney does just admit that RomneyCare was a mistake.

Maybe this is my naiveté, but why can't Romney just come out and admit maybe it wasn't the best move and that if he were to do it over again (ahem, as president) that he would do things differently? I know politicians never do this but maybe somebody should. I really liked Romney but his Romneycare issue is a killer for me…
Lisa, methinks you had better mail your suggestion to Mitt.
