Romney Trying to Run From MassCare

Which is otherwise known as RomneyCare.  The program has been a disaster in Massachusetts and was used as a model for the design of Obamacare.  That's not going to help Mitt Romney's presidential chances and he knows it:
Move over Daniels, step aside Trump, Mitt is back and he’s grabbing the headlines with an agenda to get the health-care monkey off his back in time to win the crucial New Hampshire and Florida primaries.

He announced today that he’ll showcase his plan “to repeal and replace Obamacare” next Thursday at the University of Michigan’s Cardiovascular Center.

Obamacare is hated by GOP primary-voters, and so is Mass-Care, the somewhat-similar Massachusetts healthcare plan that was pushed into law by then-Governor Romney. White House officials and rival GOP candidates have gleefully tagged Romney and his Mass-Care plan as one of Obamacare’s political-parents.

Romney can’t simply disavow his Mass-Care health-for-all plan, partly because his rivals and the hovering media are eager to revive charges that he is a flip-flopper. So Romney has tried to back away from Mass-Care, saying it was distorted by the state legislature, and also implemented badly. State residents are increasingly skeptical towards the law, but they’re not clear about what could replace it. GOP activists aren’t satisfied with this weak-tea criticism, either.
At this point I think Mitt's wasting his money with a presidential run. I just don't see it going anywhere. GOP voters seem to be pleading with the party for anyone...ANYONE else. I think he'll fade very quickly.
