What They Are Saying

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but a quick survey of conservative commentary on the Massachusetts healthcare legislation is revealing. As much as it will raise Romney's national profile and give him something to campaign on, I don't think it's scoring him any points within the party. Here's a few links:

The Hugh Hewitt comments were actually quite positive. Mitt seems to have won points with him. Hewitt's comments emphasize the idea that Mitt actually did something and did not compromise.

Speaking of Mitt getting the credit on the healthcare legislation; did anyone see the frustration that John Kerry showed after Tim Russert suggested that Mitt Romney was responsible for the legislation on "Meet the Press"? I thought, “He must feel the same way that republicans did after President Clinton took credit for balancing the budget and the strength of the economy in the '90s.”
