Yes as Matt says, Mitt Romney “could have tried to run as a political heir to George Romney on the basis of his record in Massachusetts, as a moderate technocrat. But he decided to try to remake himself as the Christian Right candidate..” but what Matt doesn’t say is that without remaking himself as an extremist he’d never make it through the GOP primary.
There is no room in the modern GOP for a moderate. Romney, who could have easily run as one with his record, recognized that and therefore pretends his record doesn’t exist.
A sad commentary on today’s GOP.
