Romney: Gay Marriage

Immigration Dept: Mr. Obama, meanwhile, cannot win in November without maximizing turnout among women, students and minority voters. Hence, there was endless talk in Charlotte about abortion, gay marriage and immigration, while Republicans for a change acted as if they did not exist. Mostly, what they talked about in Tampa was small business, according to Globe and Mail. For all his Tea Party pandering, Mr. Romney showed he is still a Massachusetts Republican at heart. He still thinks social issues have no place in politics. He still believes there is no solution beyond the ken of consultants with a business plan. He still thinks government can and should be run like a corporation and most voters already think Mr. Obama is closer to the centre than Mr. Romney, who spent the primaries trying to prove his severely conservative bona fides to a skeptical base. In Tampa, Mr. Romney needed to look less radical than most of the electorate thinks he is. Beyond the raw politics involved in these calculations, however, each presidential candidate revealed something of his authentic self in his nomination speech. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
