The attacks on Mr. Obama promise to be a centerpiece of Mr. Romney’s campaign as he seeks to present himself as the inevitable choice for Republicans eager to reclaim the White House. In his speech on Thursday, he pledged, without hesitance, to repeal the president’s health care reforms.

“We will return responsibility and authority to the states for dozens of government programs – and that begins with a complete repeal of Obamacare,”

The choice of the Bittersweet Farm for his announcement is an interesting one for Mr. Romney, who regularly argues for a smaller federal government that spends less. The rolling green hills of the farm were preserved in recent years in part with $1 million in federal money, according to a recent report in Seacoast Online.

A spokesman for Mr. Romney’s campaign told The Times’s John Harwood that “I don’t think it’s fair to call it a federally subsidized backdrop. It’s a nice farm in New Hampshire, a landmark.”

Mr. Romney has emerged as the front-runner for the Republican nomination after reassembling a powerful fund-raising apparatus and an extensive campaign operation. But he faces tough questions from conservatives about the health care plan he pushed through as governor.

Democrats are already firing back at his economic argument, casting Mr. Romney as a flip-flopper who takes positions out of convenience, not principle in an Internet video released Thursday morning, the Democratic National Committee.

Mr. Romney is “going into this campaign with the same fatal flaws that doomed him the first time around,” said Brad Woodhouse, a Democratic National Committee spokesman. “That he’s seen as a wishy-washy, flip-flopping politician who lacks any core convictions or principles and who you simply can’t trust to shoot straight with you.”

Doesn't he mean "Romneycare"?

I think Romney was careful about his wording. Instead of government-run health care, he said returning responsibility to the states.

Still government run, just not by the feds.

Remember, Romney05 is a completely different program than Romney11. I don't even think that they're compatible with each other, as trying to run both will cause Romney11 to crash almost every time. Sucks, too, because Romney05 was a simple and stable platform, relatively predictable and good at task management. Romney11 is just some half-assed program rushed out before it was ready, full of bugs, glitches and continuity issues...
