Obama’s flat performance wasn’t the only thing about last night’s debate that left me frustrated. When pressed about his plan to repeal and replace Obamacare, Romney claimed that people with pre-existing conditions would still have access to coverage. Except they wouldn’t. A Romney adviser later clarified that states would need to enact their own versions of Obama–sorry, ROMNEYcare–to guarantee coverage to people with pre-existing conditions.

Let that sink in for a minute. Romney wants to scrap a federal law and replace it with fifty state laws that would essentially do the same thing. But he can’t say that during the debate because, you know, details.

That Romney will say anything to become president is not exactly news. But I’m a little surprised that conservatives don’t seem to be bothered by this.
