I had to stop reading Sully when he became God-Emperor of Drama Queens, but he is right in one way: Romney, suddenly, is the centrist in this election. His latest reboot has him taking positions that would have been anathema to his base only 3 weeks ago. What's more, now that he finally has a non-zero chance of winning, the base is staying remarkably silent. It's as if they know their positions are untenable and unwinnable, so would rather win first and figure put their positions later. It's crass, it's gross, and it's working.
