The Tao of Bob
On CapeCodToday, Jack Coleman recalls a 2004 GOP retreat at which Mitt Romney regaled a crowd of 100 party leaders with some excellent advice that Utah Sen. Bob Bennett gave him during the Olympics.
It wasn't long after Romney began running for president that he came under attack for switching from a moderate to a "true conservative." He had somehow forgotten Bennett's advice, Coleman says, and tried to explain.
"Never explain," Bennett told Romney. "When you explain, you're losing."

Anyone who doubts this, or who seeks confirmation, need only google "Romney flip flop" for abundant fodder.
