Romney Continues To Catch Attention

Mitt Romney's 2008 stock continues to rise, if Jonathan Alter's Newsweek piece is any indication.

(Or is this the press finding a new favorite Republican, now that McCain has taken a stand on immigration issues? It's a fair question.)

Meanwhile, the Massachusetts health care plan, whose implementation is drawing Gov. Romney this new attention, gets critiqued by Ramesh Ponnuru at National Review. The Tyler Condensed Version: A good plan to reach a bad goal (universal coverage), and in regards to taxes the best plan Romney could get with a Democratic Legislature. It does contain some good connservative elements, but it would need more tweaking before Ponnuru would cheerlead for it. But overall - a good plan.
