So I followed the link from one of my favorite bloggers (ChristopherHedges)here in NW Indiana, and went thru the survey, only to find out that Mitt Romney is my best selection ... problem is that he has changed his positions to mine. He didn't start with these positions, he got here by trying to seem right to the party. I can't support him for that reason.
So, I stay put with McCain at 73% who started where he still is. Go to Presidential Selector

I don't trust Mitt Romney either since it does appear that he isn't always what he says he is.
There is a campaign ad floating around on the internet that shows Mitt flipping around just by showing him speak about his positions as governor of Massachusetts. (Just being the governor of Massachusetts is a red flag).
As with everything else, the Presidential selector should be used with caution since a triangulating candidate can look good on paper, but on further inspection not be the right person.
Chris, you are right on with your triangulation theory.
Thursday won't tell us much with the presidential primaries, but next tuesday will start to narrow the field.
I'm looking for fred thompson to pull out after tuesday
