Sam Brownback on Romney
In an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network's David Brody, Sam Brownback, when asked about Mitt Romney, said "I think you'll have to look at where he stood, and at times, he's said different things on these issues. I think that's all going to come out during a long campaign."

Wo...Brownback is getting his hands dirty early.
I'm sure he sees this as his "trump card" on Romney. Funny thing is people started questioning Brownback's social conservative credentials yesterday. His response to CBN was:
"I was in the same position in 1994 as I am today as far as being pro-life. I didn't articulate then. I thought, and this is just getting into politics, that it would be better off saying the specific areas of the issue rather than are you pro-life or pro-choice. So when people would ask me where are you on the issue I would say I'd say I'm against taxpayer funding of abortion, I'm against it being used in foreign military bases. I would articulate all these positions that are a pro-life position. And they would say OK, where are you? Are you pro-life or pro-choice? And I'd go back an articulate the specific stance on it. So I'm in the same position now as I was then. I just say the short end I'm pro-life, now do you want to know any of the specifics, I'd be happy to answer it."
I was thinking the same thing about Brownback using this issue with Romney as his trump card. In a way Romney has been asking for it. It'll be fun to watch, I'm sure.
