It's actually a principle involved there called the rush to the middle. Every politician does it when they go through a primary before a general election. Obama did the same thing in 2004. It's silly to criticize Romney for doing the same thing that every politician since Goldwater has done when there are so many legitimate things to be critical of him for.
