Pilgrim Willard crashes campaign into a Plymouth Rock

What mind-blowingly awesome utterance could Willard's brilliant team have issued that sent arch Conservative Erick son of Erick of Redstate into such a twitter? Oh, this:

 Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul, responding to a harsh new super PAC ad featuring a man who blames Bain Capital for his uninsured wife’s death, broke new ground for the campaign by praising Romney’s health insurance mandate.

 As word spread throughout the Wingnutia blogosphere that Romeny spokeswoman Andrea Saul dared speak these words, "To that point, if people had been in Massachusetts, under Gov. Romney’s health care plan, they would have had health care." Ears of the Republican's base perked up on hearing the attack command.

They had feared this was so all along: Mittens, in putting up his pampered dukes and fighting Obama's healthcare charges, would one day defend Romneycare and its individual mandate, a heresy so grand it sucked the air out of the conservative airspace.

Writes Erickson to his conservative following of the betrayal,

 Conservatives have put aside their distrust of Romney on this issue in the name of beating Barack Obama. They thought he and his campaign team had gotten the message and the hints. Consider the scab picked, the wound opened, and the distrust trickling out again.

About the only thing more stupid in terms of building bridges with the right would be to say something nice about fetal stem cell research.

Many commenters responded to Erickson's post by trying to defend Willard, noting this was merely a talking head and not the candidate himself. So, one must ask, how do they respond to Mitt's full embrace of his signature Massachusetts initiative that spawned their most dreaded and feared Obamacare law?

"We've got to do some reforms in health care and I have some experience doing that, as you know," Romney told supporters in Des Moines, Iowa.

"I want to make sure that those with pre-existing conditions are able to get insurance and that people don't have to worry about getting dropped from their insurance coverage and that health insurance is available to all people."
Those points are among the key elements of the Affordable Care Act which Obama consistently touts on the campaign trail.”

 What conservatives are doing re Andrea Saul's comment is the same as how you housebreak your dog. Romney needs to know not to go there.
