Mark B. Lowe is WrongO at RightOSphere

Call the notion that Mitt Romney- the guy responsible for Romneycare in Massachusetts- can't plausibly serve as the point-man for the counterattack on Obamacare, and thus is precluded from being the 2012 GOP presidential nominee "simplistic" if you must. Mark B. Lowe does.

The trouble is that not one of Lowe's points made in rebuttal of the notion even dents it. Above all, let it be clearly understood that American political campaigns are not forums in which the differences between two systems of government-managed health care can be debated in terms which clearly distinguish each from the other when one of the sides- the Democrats- is pulling out all the stops to obfuscate those differences.

Sorry. But Mitt is history, whether he ought to be or not. If he is the nominee, Obamacare simply cannot be a winning issue for the Republicans in 2012.
