As Gov. Scott Walker “continues to consider running for president, he appears to be following the playbook of Mitt Romney in 2008: Adopt positions that are more conservative than your record, in an attempt to appeal to the Republican base. But the strategy is raising questions about his core convictions, and threatens to take him out of the top tier of candidates in the crucial early-voting states like Iowa and New Hampshire,” the Boston Globe reports.
Said Iowa GOP operative Craig Robinson: “These flip-flops or kind of maneuvering on issues has put an end to the Scott Walker honeymoon in Iowa. The thing is, people are looking for consistency and when they look at Walker they’re not getting that today.”
