Mitt Romney's choice of Mike Leavitt as his transition chief is spurring opposition from conservative activists over the former Utah governor's support for parts of Pres. Obama's healthcare reform law.

Reports The New York Times:

Ben Domenech, a conservative blogger, wrote on RedState Monday morning that Mr. Leavitt’s support for parts of the president’s health care law was “a matter of significant concern for those on the right” and said it raised questions about Mr. Romney’s promise to repeal the law if he gets into office.

“Today, there is little question that opponents of ‘Obamacare’ exchange implementation have won the battle,” Mr. Domenech wrote. “But it is concerning that this was a battle won over the heavy opposition of someone who may end up determining Obamacare’s replacement.”

The hand-wringing has spread to other conservative outlets.
