That said, I very much liked something he said during a GOP debate fairly early in the last primary season: He introduced himself as being the only candidate on the stage who has been married to one woman. Sure, it was a jab at the other candidates' rather adventurous personal lives, but it also cut in the direction of someone eager (or at least willing, and maybe even able) to defuse whatever qualms conservative Protestants might have with Romney's faith.<br /><br />I liked him for that, and I still do. I hope he'll figure out how to do this . . . but I also wish his former moderate-conservative self will show up again, and stick around this time.John B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06358811061653958120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907752.post-21666260000577732011-06-10T14:12:38.059-05:002011-06-10T14:12:38.059-05:00Nope, I missed that.
