The American Spectator

This tells the latest battle of McCain vs. Romney -- over the new ad directed at Huckabee. The response by a Romney "supporter"-- " Hey McCain touted Romney in 2002 " -- shows roughly the same level of self-delusion as the "politically incorrect" ad. In 2002 , of course, Romney had yet to reverse himself on abortion, gay rights, gun rights, campaign finance reform, Ronald Reagan, the Bush tax cuts and immigration. It is simply silly to suggest McCain's current view of him and his ad should be held hostage to the 2002 McCain view. Perhaps they could strike a deal: McCain returns to his 2002 evaluation of Romney if Romney returns to his 2002 policy positions.
