Romney's critics attack his inconsistent track record on issues such as [[abortion]] and [[gay]] marriage to the point where he has gotten the nickname "Multiple Choice Mitt." A man dressed as a dolphin calling himself Flipper has appeared at some recent conservative gatherings to bring attention to Romney's inconsistent stands on abortion and gay marriage. Although Romney now identifies himself as pro-life and anti-same sex marriage, he claimed to be pro choice and supported same-sex rights as late as 2002. These swaps coupled with his [[Mormon]] affiliation puts him at odds with much of the Evangelical right, but a PollingReport.com chart from September 2007 indicates that Mitt was still polling at approximately 10% within the GOP primary forecasts. | Romney's critics attack his inconsistent track record on issues such as [[abortion]] and [[gay]] marriage to the point where he has gotten the nickname "Multiple Choice Mitt."
