Are those positions represented by Mitt 1994, Mitt 2002, Mitt 2008 or Mitt 2011?
The positions outlined in Mitt Romney's platform address the economic challenges our nation faces, as well as foreign policy and health care. Mitt Romney has already held a strong record in these areas, from turning around the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002 to giving Massachusetts real health care reform several years later.
Romney has a strong record on foreign policy?
The vague goals in his economic platform seem to overlap quite a bit with Obama's. Except for the vow to repeal national Romneycare. (Give Obama time on that one.) Why does Romney have nothing to say about the debt stand-off or Republican threats not to raise the debt ceiling?
Oh, but he has:

A start but there's more to know.
In advocating a balanced budget amendment, will Romney identify what spending cuts he'd make to keep balance with the tax cuts he calls for? Presumably he'd make immediate spending cuts in the midst of our crisis? And looking back to question the feasibility of functioning with such an amendment, will he say what spending he'd have cut to pay for stimulus in 2009? To pay for the wars and Bush's tax cuts last decade? And further, if the DeMint plan won't pass congress (and it won't), what does Romney advise his party do then in their impasse with the Democrats? Vote no on raising the debt ceiling even if it means default?
