Alex Castellanos's Cheap Shot
At the end of the Boston Globe article about an internal Mitt Romney strategy memo written by strategist Alex Castellanos.
Like every Republican in the race, Romney faces the delicate task of how to talk about President Bush, whom the country gives low job-approval ratings . But the plan lists two ways Romney can set himself apart from Bush. The first says, simply, "Intelligence."
Castellanos, of course, is a veteran of both Bush campaigns and has remained an informal adviser to the White House.

So a flip-flopper Mitt calls a stuborn Bush "dumb".
Is Mitt trying to claim that he is smarter than Bush because he flip-flopped on abortion, gay rights, stem cell research?

"When he ran for governor in 2002, Romney declared his opposition to both same-sex marriage and civil unions.[44] "Call me old fashioned, but I don't support gay marriage nor do I support civil union," said Romney in an October 2002 gubernatorial debate."
"Prior to his run for governor, Romney told a newspaper in Salt Lake City that he did not want to be classified as a "pro-choice" politician.[61]"
Also in his gubernatorial run, "I don't accept either label, pro-choice, or pro-life."
""I will not change any provisions in Massachusetts' pro-choice laws".[5]"
"Romney vetoed an emergency contraception bill in July 2005, claiming that allowing it to pass into law would violate his "moratorium" on changes to the abortion laws.[11]."
He kept his word.
