Mr. President, don't forget the pledge - to Grover Norquist
The Morning After
By TIMOTHY EGAN, NYT
President-elect Willard M. Romney - congratulations! It's a Mormon miracle, when you think about it, even bigger than Brigham Young University's stunning upset of No. 1-ranked Miami in 1990.
Turns out, you really could write off 47 percent of Americans, the moochers and victims. All it took was a tough march through the suburbs of Florida, Virginia, Colorado and - ha, ha, Bruce Springsteen - Ohio.
But be careful crediting providence: it almost went the other way, after that Senate candidate in Indiana, Richard Mourdock, said it was part of God's plan for rape victims to carry their assailants' babies, one day after you cut an ad for him. Good golly, gobsmackers, that was close!
No, matter, the past is Etch A Sketchable, the whole of it, as you've just shown. From Severe Conservative to Milquetoast Mitt, it's all the same. Now on to governance.
But before you take the oath, don't forget the pledge - to Grover Norquist. You and Vice President-elect Paul Ryan both pledged fealty to the bearded, much-feared lobbyist. You will never, ever, under any circumstances, war or national emergency, raise taxes.
