Breitbart Implies Conservatives Urging Romney To Step Aside

(Breitbart.com) Conservatives, who had just coalesced around opposition to what many now call "Obamatax," exhort: Mitt, start fighting, or give up and let someone else do it.

The Obama campaign has seized on remarks made by Romney adviser Eric "Etch-A-Sketch" Fehrnstrom this morning on MSNBC, to the effect that the individual mandate in Obamacare (and Romneycare) is not a tax.
