dcnovice -> Romney Changes Position on Raising Minimum Wage (3/7/2012 7:17:39 PM)
quote: It didn't get much notice amid the buildup to Super Tuesday. But after conservative outcry over his support for raising the minimum wage, Mitt Romney quietly reversed his position this week. "There's probably not a need to raise the minimum wage," the Republican front-runner told CNBC's Larry Kudlow on Monday. As recently as January, Romney said he was in favor of a hike in the minimum wage. "My view has been to allow the minimum wage to rise with the CPI [Consumer Price Index] or with another index so that it adjusts automatically over time," he told a staffer for a labor-backed group that supports a raise. And he confirmed that stance last month, telling reporters: "I haven't changed my thoughts on that." Source: Yahoo News Thoughts? Will this help Romney win the nomination? If he does win, will it affect him in the general election?

I can't wait to watch Romney run back to the center after he wins the nomination and see Obama capitalize on his flip flops. Not to mention Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/post/mitt-romney-flip-flopper-or-not/2011/11/30/gIQAH6ubEO_blog.html Now the Democratic National Committee has assembled some of its best evidence of Romney-as-flip-flopper in a four-minute video ad. The DNC helpfully provided a detailed explanation of where each clip came from (see below), and we have picked through them to see whether the flip-flop charge holds up. We give a Pinocchio rating to each claim, in the order in which it is made in the commercial.
