The following quote from Dave Gaultier, blogger on Race 4 2012.com, I found encouraging. Many on the far right are afraid of Romney's prior health care "experience" but there are probably many more in the mushy middle as I call it that will be sensibly relieved by his experience and strong stand against national mandates and government control combined with his economic expertise.
"While many or perhaps even most Americans want ObamaCare to be repealed, that doesn't mean they want a return to the pre-ObamaCare status quo. Indeed, the Democratic attack ads are probably already in the works, complete with a 38-year-old soccer mom distressed over the fact that she can’t get insurance for her 2.5 children due to their pre-existing conditions. The facts of the ad won’t really matter; what will matter is that suburban women everywhere will view such ads and think, “That could be me…”
As of now, Romney is the only Republican candidate to craft a specific replacement for ObamaCare. I believe that this will be an essential part of any Republican victory next fall. While other candidates may promise to replace ObamaCare with a generic “free market solution” that is light on specifics, and while still others may simply offer Americans outright repeal to “get government out of the way,” I believe that Main Street America will require a tangible solution on the part of the Republicans instead of what sounds like another attempt to kick one of Washington’s many cans down the road. Romney’s new plan is both conservative and presumably effective, and it addresses all of the concerns that soccer moms will have with the repeal of ObamaCare."

By the way have you noticed any of Romney's campaign ads ? Strong and to the point on the Obama economy/unemployment. You can see them on YouTube or Romney's web site or MittRomneyCentral.com. I also noted that Romney's fund raising is breaking records and showing the strong support he has with a wide swath of Americana. He'll need it to battle Obama. If you can, please lend your support as well.
