Romney, Appealing to Wider Audience, Recalibrates Message

By MICHAEL COOPER

The language Mitt Romney used this week to describe his plan to cut income tax rates was somewhat unusual, at least by the standards of recent Republican presidential campaigns.

“By the way, don’t be expecting a huge cut in taxes,” Mr. Romney cautioned at a rally in Westerville, Ohio, “because I’m also going to lower deductions and exemptions.”

<...>

Candidates who emerge from competitive primaries — as Mr. Romney did — often find themselves forced to recalibrate messages and proposals initially aimed at partisan primary voters to appeal to more moderate general election voters. There are signs that Mr. Romney is now doing so, refining the way he discusses taxes, the health care law he passed as governor of Massachusetts and President Obama’s health care law, among other issues.

<...>

This week Mr. Romney also drew attention to a major part of his record that he almost never talks about on the campaign trail: the health care law he enacted in Massachusetts. That law was in many respects a model for Mr. Obama’s national health care law, which Republicans oppose vigorously and which Mr. Romney has vowed to repeal.

Dear NYT, it's the end of September. The GE debates are in a few days. Stop trying to put a positive spin on Mitt's flip flopping, flailing and multiple messaging resets.

Operation Rescue Mitt is an EPIC FAIL.

2. so Romney is supporting Obama's healthcare plan? Republicans won't like that

3. Why does this make me think of Scotty and the transporter?

Maybe they can move republicans fast from poll to poll using transporters and let them register in all the cities they have houses.
