Mittens can change his position in a heartbeat. I mean, take ANY position and Mittens has been on every side of the issue.
But in 72 hours, this must be a world's record:
Romney had barely walked off stage after announcing he'd picked Paul Ryan when his campaign said Romney would not be running on the Ryan plan.
In an interview with 60 Minutes, Romney said the election wouldn't be a referendum on the Ryan plan and that his plan wasn't the Ryan plan.
On Monday morning, Romney avoided talking about either his plan or the Ryan plan, instead attacking Obama for achieving $700 billion in Medicare savings ... even though Ryan supports those savings.
On Monday afternoon, Mitt Romney claimed the Romney-Ryan plan would expand Medicare, even though it would actually end it.
At the same press conference, Romney said he couldn't think of any differences between his plan and Ryan's plan.
On Tuesday Morning, Romney surrogate John Sununu claimed the Ryan and Romney plans were "very different."
Two hours later, a senior Romney adviser said Ryan and Romney were "100 percent on the same path" on Medicare.
And today?
REPORTER: Your senior campaign advisor said Sunday if the Ryan budget would have come to your desk you would have signed it. In a January debate you called it a proposal that was absolutely right on. So I guess, why now are you distancing yourself from at least the Medicare portion of the Ryan budget?
ROMNEY: Actually Paul Ryan and my plan for Medicare I think is the same—if not identical it's probably close to identical.
Nicely done!
