I expect politicians to understand two basics principles: 1. stating you changed an opinion when you obviously didn't and 2. constantly attacking opponents makes you look weak and costs you more votes than it gains.
Romney never learned that lesson, and Newt forgot it. It is the reason neither one is president and each had it for the taking at some point.
Well, problem is none of these guys truly have principles they believe in, it's all about what direction the wind is blowing.
