Romney's accomplishments and lifestyle show that he values kindness, family, community, citizenship, hard work, honesty and love. No other candidate has had his faith subjected to so much scrutiny, yet Romney has not wavered. If he were a flip-flopper, he would not take on the task of being a Mormon in the public arena...

Given her criticism of McCain on stem cell research, the author must have been one of the first to proclaim Senator Kerry a flip-flopper, as she evidently has no understanding of the nuance under-appreciated in federal legislation, especially in legislation pertaining to an issue as scientifically technical in its complexity as stem cells.
