POPULIST RHETORIC VS. REALITY IN THE PALMETTO STATE

Friday, Jan 18, 2008 -- "I don't think he understands the free market business system. He's not good on taxing, he's not good on spending, he's not good on free trade.

January 16, 2008 -- South Carolina Republicans beware…. The Mitt Romney you see this week may bear little resemblance to the Romney you saw last year. After losing in Iowa and New Hampshire, smooth talking Mitt Romney retooled his message in order to reposition himself as a champion of working families.

Jan 16, 2008 -- "Mitt Romney had a light home field advantage in the Michigan primary since he grew up in Detroit and his dad was a three-term governor. But that's not why he won. Romney defeated John McCain because the economy is emerging as the overriding issue in the 2008 presidential race, and Romney's message on the subject is stronger than McCain's.
