Am wondering if others heard his answer during an actually very good interview by some lady at CBS (who won't last long if she asks fair questions of Republicans and then lets them answer). If you haven't I suggest you look it up and then let me know what you think.

The essence of his argument is that it is OK for states to force people to buy health insurance and that it is constitutional for them to have a penalty for those that don't. My response to this is that he is factually correct but it makes him a very poor person to argue against Obamacare (just as Rick Santorum argued in the primaries). If this election is too much about Obamacare and not enough about the economy, national defense and selected social issues then the hill will be a little steeper for Romney.

I think many Americans will not understand the nuanced argument he is making, even if it is correct. What say you?
