Mitt Romney Deflects 'Flip-Flopper' Charges, Says He Will Keep Campaign Promises


Mitt is on a roll, baby! Read entire story here (front page of FOX News).

Republican Mitt Romney sought Sunday to deflect charges that he is a flip-flopper, insisting he had learned from experience and could be counted on to keep his campaign promises if elected president.

Appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press," a somewhat defensive Romney acknowledged that he has shifted positions on some issues and explained that he did so after learning from experience.

He said it would be a mistake if a candidate "stubbornly takes a position on a particular act and says, 'Well, I'm never changing my view based on what I've learned."'


"If you're looking for someone who's never changed any positions on any policies, then I'm not your guy," Romney said.


At the same time, Romney insisted that as governor he kept all of his campaign promises despite changing some views, and said he would stick to his promises if elected president.

He was strong and articulate in defense of his record.
