Salt Lake City, UT – How do you turn a political moderate into a red-meat social conservative? Mitt Romney was the Republican governor of the most liberal state in the Union, and now he's being repackaged by an army of consultants in an effort to galvanize his presidential campaign. Tuesday, Doug talks to the journalist Ken Silverstein about Mitt Romney and the making of a conservative.
- Ken Silverstein's Making Mitt Romney: How to fabricate a conservative appears in November's Harper's Magazine.
