Hey plastic-man, they're onto you!

New Hampshire's Concord Monitor has Mitt Romney's number but good. Their editorial board has gone on the record about why he should not be president (h/t to TPM)

If you followed only his tenure as governor of Massachusetts, you might imagine Romney as a pragmatic moderate with liberal positions on numerous social issues and an ability to work well with Democrats. If you followed only his campaign for president, you'd swear he was a red-meat conservative, pandering to the religious right, whatever the cost. Pay attention to both, and you're left to wonder if there's anything at all at his core.

...

[New Hampshire residents] talk about our ability to see the candidates up close, ask tough questions and see through the baloney. If a candidate is a phony, we assure ourselves and the rest of the world, we'll know it.

Mitt Romney is such a candidate.
'couldn't have said it better myself. They guy is an unprincipled puppet. If he thought drop-kicking puppies would get him the presidency, he'd be out punting the smallest breed he could find.
