How much would you like to wager on the outcome of the election? I'll take Obama. You can have Romney.

More on this:

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was quick to denounce the welfare reform waiver plan announced by the Obama administration last week. But in 2005, he was one of a half-dozen prominent Republican governors who supported such waivers.

The administration’s plan would provide states with more flexibility to manage their state welfare programs under Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, the welfare reform package instituted in 1996. Republicans accused the administration of attempting to “gut” welfare reform with the waivers, and Romney agreed. “President Obama now wants to strip the established work requirements from welfare. The success of bipartisan welfare reform, passed under President Clinton, has rested on the obligation of work. The President’s action is completely misdirected. Work is a dignified endeavor, and the linkage of work and welfare is essential to prevent welfare from becoming a way of life,” Romney said.

But in 2005, Romney’s signature appeared on a letter from the Republican Governor’s Association to congressional leadership. The letter states explicit support for welfare waivers:

As ThinkProgress has noted, other Republican administrations in Utah and Nevada still support the waiver program, which the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities says will actually increase welfare’s ability to transition welfare recipients into employment programs.

Mitt is looking more and more like Kerry. Supposed to be moderate and acceptable to the general election voter, but can't avoid coming off as an out of touch privileged elite who has taken every possible position on any given issues at one point or another.

The comparison breaks down, though, in that Romney has never achieved the level of boring that Kerry exudes.

Have you met Mitt?

Don't take this as a defense of Kerry in any way. But Mitt wins that battle.

Why does my state produce such wind-up-doll politicians?
