Boston Globe Reports: The former Massachusetts governor today unveiled a coalition of “Reaganites for Romney,” led by Jerry Carmen, a Reagan administration official and former ambassador to the United Nations.
Romney, in a release announcing the coalition of 35 public figures formerly associated with Reagan, said the individuals “were part of a movement that changed America and the rest of the world.”
“The smaller government policies of the Reagan era helped turn around a struggling economy and create millions of jobs,” Romney said. “And the strong defense of freedom around the world led to the crumbling of empires and dictatorships.”
That’s a big jump from the Romney who during his 1994 Senate race with Edward Kennedy tried to reject the Democrat’s attempts to tie him to Reagan. “I was an independent during that time of Reagan-Bush,” Romney said during a debate. “I’m not trying to return to Reagan-Bush.”
