:Also, let's face it, he said those things so he could get elected Governor of MA. To an extent I see that as stealthily putting one over on the MA voters, since I suspect his abortion and gay marriage views have always been what he claims them to be now. In MA it wouldn't matter, since neither issue would come up in a way that he could affect. Does saying them count as deceit in this case, or just, well, political expediency? You're not going to find anyone old enough to run for President who has been involved in politics who hasn't compromised themselves to some extent like this. Just my opinion, I guess.

"The irony that the Mormon has been married the least times of all the candidates was pointed out by Romney's wife, Ann, who said the difference between her husband and the other candidates is that "he's had only one wife."[1]"
This entire sentence is awkward and irrelevant. 'the irony that the Mormon' just doesn't sound right. --WOVcenter 03:10, 10 March 2007 (EST)
- Agreed. I was just thinking of a way to rewrite it. Jinkas 18:28, 3 August 2007 (EDT)
"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."
There is a difference between same-sex marriage and same-sex rights, so this isn't really a flip-flop.

Mcpannier's edits
Missing and apostrophe in the word "States" in paragraph 3 of the Abortion section. It should be "State's." The paragraph on Mitt's stem cell research stance is confusing. What are embryos creaded during fertility treatments? The link for that sentence doesn't work. The poll for March is out of date. Here's the link to a late September poll: <http://www.pollingreport.com/wh08rep.htm>. Romney had 10% in this poll.
