Romneycare ain’t Iraq

Politico’s Alex Burns writes in his Morning Score today:

THE HEALTH CARE ANSWER – Romney’s new line, to the Boston Globe, defending his support for the unpopular Massachusetts health care overhaul: “The health of the people in Massachusetts is more important to me than the health of my political prospects.” http://bo.st/mC0HX8
COMPARE – John McCain’s mantra, ca. 2007-2008, defending his support for the surge and unpopular war in Iraq: “I’d rather lose an election than lose a war.” http://politi.co/iH3GDZ

Team Romney is deluding themselves if they think they can draw any comparisons between Romney on Romneycare circa 2012 and McCain on Iraq circa 2008.
