[...] There is also this issue: RomneyCare and HillaryCare are both based on individual mandates. So: Romney’s plan concedes in advance the argument to the Democrats—the only operational difference between the plans is size, scope, and, hence, price, as argued by eye of eyeon08.com in a post titled Romney’s Clinton Problem.

Once again a Romney that relies more on poll tested rhetoric than facts. (europe, washington, and government bashing, and privitization touting).

I’m sure factcheck.org is salivating as i type.

Romney accused Clinton of taking inspiration for her plan from European bureaucracies instead of the American people. “In her plan, we have a government insurance instead of private insurance,” Romney said, outlining the differences between her plan and his own. “In her plan, it’s crafted by Washington; it should be crafted by the states. In her plan, we have government, Washington-managed health care. Instead, we should rely on the private markets to guide health care. And in her plan, you see increased taxes. The burden should not be raised on the American people.”

I like Drudge but view all his pro-Romney posts as evidence of his ability to be influenced by his friends. It reflects poorly on his character. Just like the MSM. They tend to promote their favorites. (Hillary)
I just assumed everyone knew that Drudge was biased.

Here is the money quote from the article. Posted in Dec. of last year.
-Cillizza adds, “Rhoades’ connection to Drudge is tough to replicate; watch Drudge over the coming weeks and months to see the importance of that relationship and how it accrues to Romney’s benefit.”-

Hasn’t this prediction come true? I say it has.

Did I say Romney hired Drudge? NO. He hired a good friend of Drudge.

Rachel,
Romney actually hired Drudge? Do you know this to be true? Can you prove it?
