Note to the “only Mitt can win” crowd: This is what awaits you in the general election. Barack Obama will spend every waking moment referring to Mitt Romney as an opportunist politician riding along on that sweet Wall Street cash he got from downsizing companies at Bain Capital.

Something to keep in mind. Mitt can insist he didn’t change his mind on major issues all he wants. He can whine about tough interviews all he wants. He can lie to the faces of interviewers, telling them he never changed. But the video still exists and voters will still see it. Welcome to reality.
