This is actually mildly amusing. You think this sort of past might actually help him in the general?

I find it interesting that Perry and Romney both can be compared with democrats and they are both doing well in the polls right now. Perry was a democrat and Romney talked like a democrat during his debate with Ted Kennedy.
The news media could easily drag them both down during the primary if they chose to. The news media holds all of the power.

Maybe it was Tipper's efforts to censor rock music which attracted him to Gore.

Originally posted by EladarActually, some of the nuttier in the Republican Party did just that when he negotiated with the Soviet Union. We do have a large number of very goofy right wingers still sore about racial integration, and I think Reagan brought them out.
Reagan was a Democrat at one time and I don't think most people would bash Reagan for being too liberal.
