Count Mitt out. Yesterday he gave a spirited defense of Romney, er, Obamacare, and completely blew up the conservative blogsphere. Even over at the National Review who endorsed him in 2008.

“Mitt Romney just gave a more articulate defense of Obamacare than President Obama ever has. He continues to believe that the individual mandate is a good idea, despite the fact that the “free-rider” problem is a myth. His effort to make a distinction between Romneycare and Obamacare was not persuasive: If anything, he convincingly made the opposite case, that Romneycare and Obamacare are based on the same fundamental concept.

In recent months, Romney has claimed that Romneycare was a specific solution for the specific needs of Massachusetts. But in his remarks, he did not name one specific aspect of the Massachusetts health-care environment that is unique to that state. If there are no important differences between the Massachusetts health-care system and that of other states, why shouldn’t he believe that Romneycare should be the model for every other state?”

I never was sold on Romney. To me he was never anything better than a Rockefeller Republican, and in many ways a smooth talking RINO. Both of which we do not need in 2012. This was in essense Romney’s macaca moment.

He’s done.
