It could be the issue that decides the nomination!
"GOP rivals make cases to Hispanics in Florida" January 28, 2012|By Glen Johnson
Yesterday, Gingrich began running an ad in Florida criticizing Romney’s explanation during Thursday’s debate of his vote for Paul Tsongas in the 1992 Democratic presidential primary. Romney undercut his credibility when he tried to distance himself from that vote by saying, “I’ve never voted for a Democrat when there was a Republican on the ballot,’’ Romney said. “I have always voted for a Republican any time there was a Republican on the ballot.’’
The reality is that there was a Republican presidential primary in Massachusetts in 1992 between President George H.W. Bush and Pat Buchanan.
Furthermore, the answer was the latest evolution in Romney’s explanation about the vote.
This guy can't help but lie when he opens his mouth.
When first asked as a 1994 US Senate candidate about records showing him voting in the 1992 Democratic primary, Romney said he could not recall for whom he voted.
Then Romney told the Globe he voted for Tsongas because he preferred his ideas to his then-opponent for the nomination, Bill Clinton. Later, he added that it was proof he was not a partisan politician.
Yet in 2007, while making his first run for president, Romney offered a new explanation: He said he voted for Tsongas as a tactical maneuver, aiming to present the “weakest opponent’’ possible for Bush.
