Romney Promises Return to Core Values

Romney appears to be taking Newt’s advice.

Romney’s speech, coupled with fresh television ads and an open letter to party leaders, marks a shift as he seeks to capitalize on discontent among Republicans about the country’s direction.

With a sharp critique of the GOP, Romney is distancing himself from President Bush and Republicans who ran the House and Senate until last fall. Bush’s support is at a low mark as is Congress’ job approval.
