18:10Now Playingdemocracynow.org - As Mitt Romney surges in his bid for the Republican nomination, we take an in-depth look at his career and political record with reporter David Bernstein of the Boston Phoenix who has covered Romney for many years. Bernstein details Romney's shifting stances over the years on a number of key political issues to appease Republican voters in his bid for the party's nomination. "The basic [Obamacare] system is entirely taken from what he did" with healthcare reform as Massachusetts governor, says Bernstein. Regarding Romney's Mormon faith, Bernstein says, "Last time in the 2008 election, he really was trying to win over ... Christian conservatives down in the South and in Iowa. And he tried to talk to them about his Mormonism and he tried to convince them that it was not that different from their religion. It really did not take."
