Why Gamble On Romney? (II)

To be clear, I don’t care where these men stood on life 13 years ago. ~Nathan Burd, Evangelicals for Mitt

How about five years ago?  How about two?  Romney’s pro-life credentials are slightly younger than Mr. Bush’s second term.  Isn’t that relevant?  Whatever his views before 1994-95, Brownback has been an obviously prominent pro-life Senator.  If there were doubts about his commitment about that, he put them to rest a while back.  Gov. Romney has only been a declared pro-lifer for a little over a year–what kind of record can he possibly have put together in that time that begins to match Brownback’s?  There really is no comparing the two.
