Whether you like Mayor Emanuel or not, he is right to call out Romney for being spineless.

Mittens has caved into Rush Limbaugh, he has caved into the most extreme elements of his party.

Romney is not his father. His father was a man of principles even if you don't agree with all his principles. His father stood up to the LDS Church elders over race. His father stood up to hawks over Viet Nam.

Romney again and again in this campaign has shown himself to be lacking the most basic principles. Mittens is willing to say or do anything that he thinks will get him what he wants.
