CNN’s Spitzer: Mitt Romney is ‘Very Conservative’?
CNN's Eliot Spitzer on Monday's Parker-Spitzer bizarrely labeled former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney “very conservative” on Monday's Parker-Spitzer as he cited the prominent Republican's support for legislation similar to ObamaCare: “I think it was interesting…that Governor Romney, a very conservative Republican , embraced the notion of the individual mandate as a governor” (audio available here ).
