We returned from the Club for Growth Winter Economic Conference Sunday. At breakfast yesterday morning I whined about the Republican Presidential candidates we had seen, and especially about Mitt Romney.
I said to Sherry, "How can he continue to defend RomneyCare? Though it's true that a state is on sounder ground regulating intrastate economic activity than the Federal government is, he'll never be able to attack ObamaCare until he repudiates his Massachusetts program. He must be worried about looking like he's waffled. Again."
Bam! Her steel trap mind slammed shut on the right argument again. She said "Romney ought to say that the states are indeed laboratories for democracy, and now that his experiment has failed in Massachusetts, it's clear it won't work for the nation, so we must repeal it."
Now, why couldn't I think of that?
Of course, he didn't say it during the dabate before passage, either....
