Gregg is very passionate, and he’s raising very legitimate questions. The pitiful attempts by some so far to non-respond to the points Gregg is raising are telling me a lot.

I also wonder why the 527 Media isn’t bringing these matters up. Is it because they know that Romney can be beaten like a drum once he wins the nomination? Even if he wins, Romney’s Massachusetts tenure seems to indicate that he will bend at the least bit of pressure from the Beltway media elite. You can forget about a strict constructionist Supreme Court if that’s the case.

Romney isn’t my first choice (not last either), but the linked article falls into the category of hyperbole. No, Romney is not as conservative as I would like but it is over the top to assert that Massachusetts is liberal because of him. It could reasonably be said he failed to keep that state’s liberalism in check. However, to claim he is at fault for gay marriage and other stupid stuff enacted by the courts or legislature in Massachusetts is just silly. Every candidate has warts. Personally, I’m leaning towards Thompson. However, he, like everyone, has blind spots that can be legitimately criticized. Jackson undermines his own argument by including some illegitimate points. The Romney campaign is probably right to ignore that article.

Note how McCullough’s piece referred to in the update refers to Jackson and two others, but is substantively non-responsive. Why? If substantive responses were there, why wouldn’t he use them?
