Everything she says can be refruted by a quick 30 second Romney Google Search.

re: "The Mitt Romney who twice ran for statewide office in Massachusetts is a different politician from the Romney who will likely court New Hampshire voters in the 2008 Republican presidential primary."

He is the same man. You keep keep saying he changed, but the people of the United States, in general, want slightly different things than the people of Massachusetts. If Romney's job is to represent the people who vote for him, and listen to what they want, do you think he would advocate the exact same things for the citizens of Massachusetts and the larger United States?  Abortion is the only stance which has changed, so stop  making yourself look un-educated by overgeneralizing.

re: " As a Massachusetts candidate, Romney pledged to keep abortion "safe and legal."

He did keep abortion safe and legal in Massachusetts. He said that he believed in the Rule of Law and that he knew Massachusetts had decided on Abortion. We wants to let every state decide.

re: "He called on the Republican Party to provide "more support" for the gay and lesbian community and won the support of many gay Republicans."

He still says the exact same thing. On Octover 16th, 2006 Romney said the following.

"In fact, as Americans, I believe that we should show an outpouring of respect and tolerance for all people. I believe God loves all of his children, that no one is abhorred -- that regardless of the differences and different choices, we should show that same respect. As Americans, we must vigorously reject discrimination and bigotry."

re: "In recent months, he has made headlines for his efforts to overturn same-sex marriage in the only state that allows it."

This is exactly what Romney, the candidate, said he would do. When he ran for governor in 2002, Romney declared his opposition to both same-sex marriage and civil unions. [6] "Call me old fashioned, but I don't support gay marriage nor do I support civil union," said Romney in an October 2002 gubernatorial debate. He also voiced support for basic domestic partnership benefits for gay couples.
