Romney has a Willie Horton-like problem. Rather than apologize for appointing a judge who let out someone to murder again he says he really wasn’t responsible for the judicial appointment and calls for the judge to resign. Does this sound like the “not responsible” for the “independent Connector Authority” that included abortions in the Commonwealth healthcare plan? Or his recent comment that he’s not responsible for the fines on Massachusetts residents for failing to abide by the individual health insurance mandate? Voters generally understand “I made a mistake” (Rudy on Kerik) or ” I was solving a bigger problem”(Huckabee on spending record) more readily than “not my fault.” Let’s see if it works for Romney.
