Politics- Acting, not much difference. All you got to see what who was the best liar.
I do know that Obamacare is basically Romneycare. I would think of that as common knowledge in a thread like this, really. I'm surprised you made a point of it.

However, the republican voters are overwhelmingly opposed to ObamaRomneycare. If Romney were to do a 180 degree spin on what his voters wanted him to do, then he'd both have to be a lying cheating bastards as well as superhuman negotiation and communication skills to avoid completely loosing all reoublican support. I don't think he's either of those.

Romney was a republican governor in a democratic state back then. He needed to be very moderate. I'd say his healthcare is like his abortion stance - he wasn't against it back when he was governor, but he is now that he's making a national attempt.
