Yeah. But he still got the hypocrite rino award of the day. Not for voting for Jackson, She was going to get in anyway, that was a foregone conclusion. But for going anyway the wind blows.
He just doesn't have to pretend to give a s$%t about what actual conservatives want. His home district is overwhelmingly red and he'll never get voted out because in Utah he runs basically unopposed.
Of course. He wouldn't have been elected in the first place if he wasn't. But most Mormans are fairly conservative and Romney stopped acting conservative some time ago.
