The Maddow Blog: The ‘Romneycare’ Anniversary
On April 12, 2012, The Maddow Blog reported:
Exactly six years ago today, then-Gov. Mitt Romney put his signature on his most notably political accomplishment: an overhaul of Massachusetts’ health care system, which brought coverage to all of the state’s residents, thanks in part to a government mandate.
To mark the occasion, American Bridge 21st Century released this video, showing Romney’s remarks at the time, many of which sound, with the benefit of hindsight, like a defense of President Obama’s Affordable Care Act.

POLITICO: Steve King Flags Concern On Romney Federal Court Picks
On April 5, 2012, POLITICO reported:
Iowa Congressman Steve King, one of the staunchest conservatives in the House and a member whose endorsement was sought by almost all the presidential hopefuls ahead of the caucuses, said he will be an “enthusiastic” supporter of the eventual nominee of the party – but raised concerns about Mitt Romney’s potential judicial picks as opposed to those who Rick Santorum would tap at a town hall in his home state last night.
He also expressed being “uneasy” about Romney and how he will address the health care law as well during the forum, which was captured by the Democratic outside group American Bridge.
