Romney, like John McCain, is a former GOP presidential contender who over the course of his career has, once in a great while, taken a moderate political position on this or that issue.

As a consequence he’s been forced to do ideological cartwheels to appeal to the frothing base of the party to try to get its 2012 nomination.

He’s also a member of the Mormon Church, which raises money from its members and instead of using it to help the poor or disadvantaged spends it on political campaigns to take away right from gays and lesbians. “Marriage is under attack!” Romney said on Fox recently. (He’s also against the repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell.”)

Romney’s new book is the pugnaciously titled No Apology. He’s signing it at 7 tomorrow night, at the Biltmore Borders, at 24th and Camelback.
