Romneyesque

How did we get to the point that some conservatives are using the former Massachusetts Governor’s name as an epithet?  Mark Ambinder coined the word in The Atlantic to mean “a willingness to abandon one’s core convictions in order to pander.”  

Daniel Larison writes in the American Conservative that the fact that Mitt Romney’s name is used in such a way is a reminder that Romney has “no real, permanent core convictions at all.”
