I wish people would realize that Mitt is not a real good politician. But he is a great businessman. Politicians pander in efforts to get votes by defining themselves in terms of right and wrong, us verse them, or liberal verse conservative. Businessmen think in terms of risk verse reward. I can tell you because I am Mormon that Mitt’s core values are probably more conservative than Huckabee. And he lives those core values better than most. No drinking, smoking, porn, stable relationship with his wife, and children. Every single day. So as a businessman you put these things in your life and heart and go out in the big bad world and define a pathway where you minimize the risk to maximize your reward. Mitt has said on several occasions he evaluates the details and data and makes the best decision in order to accomplish what needs to be done. He leaves his personal opinion and feelings on the side in order to achieve success. That is how he governed Mass. and turned the 2002 Olympics around. If he would have been pragmatically pro-life he would not have become Governor. Because he was able to put his personal belief aside he was able to turn around a terrible fiscal deficit without raising taxes and develop a successful health plan where there wasn’t one before, all the while having Democrats controlling the rest of the government. This is exactly what we need as a president.
