what exactly are we supposed to believe are Romney's actual views on things? Aren't we, as citizens of a Democracy supposed to be able to know what our would-be leaders actually believe so that we can make a truly informed decision when we enter the voting booth? Or has it simply become acceptable to allow candidates seeking public office to hide/obfuscate their views until the election is concluded and they have been elected, in Romney's case, potentially to the highest office in the country?

If Paul endorses Romney, I think his supporters will be disappointed, to say the least.
