It's a weird world even for shape-shifter Mitt Romney, who campaigned as the GOP's True Conservative. First, a long-time critic at the Boston Globe Joan Vennochi, belatedly falls head over heels for Mitt and writes a column arguing the former Massachusett's governor would make an excellent running mate for semi-True Conservative Sen. John McCain.

John McCain and Mitt Romney fought bitterly as presidential candidates and don't seem to like each other very much. ...

[But] A presidential nominee doesn't need another best friend. He needs a ticket-balancer - and from the ridiculous to the sublime, his ex-rival fits the bill.

Romney has hair; McCain has much less; Romney is robotic; McCain is temperamental. Romney shifts positions with enthusiasm; McCain does it without any.

Then, one of Mitt's top campaign advisors, Doug Kmiec, endorses Barack Obama— a Democrat. Kmiec is no lightweight. He's professor of constitutional law at Pepperdine University and headed the Office of Legal Counsel for Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush.

A kingpin in the Romney campaign goes BLUE? Worse yet, the defection is over the Iraq War that Mitt (not to mention McCain) says he supports.

No doubt some of my friends will see this as a matter of party or intellectual treachery. .... But they will readily agree that as Republicans, we are first Americans. As Americans, we must voice our concerns for the well-being of our nation without partisanship when decisions that have been made endanger the body politic. Our president has involved our nation in a military engagement without sufficient justification or clear objective. In so doing, he has incurred both tragic loss of life and extraordinary debt jeopardizing the economy and the well-being of the average American citizen. In pursuit of these fatally flawed purposes, the office of the presidency, which it was once my privilege to defend in public office formally, has been distorted beyond its constitutional assignment.

Of course, not everyone agrees with Kmiec's assessment, check out Volokh Conspiracy:

However, Mr. Kmiec is being intellectually dishonest with himself by endorsing Barack Hussein Obama who is probably the most unpatriotic candidate for President since Aaron Burr and who is likely a closet Jihadist sympathizer.
