Perhaps the most notable revelation in "Choice" is Romney's essentially unknowable nature. Ceaseless mutability makes the man a pig-in-a-poke. If elected, it is impossible to know which persona this innately fickle fellow would adopt. 

***

Keen insight into Romney's Etch-a-Sketch character is viewable at "The Ultimate Mitt Romney Flip Flop Collection" - a video collage in which Mr. Romney speaks for "himself."

Romney deceives others by first deceiving himself. 

His most recent flip - this time on abortion (October 9, 2012) - was followed by a flop later the same day.

Mitt sees the world as a "marketplace," and is convinced that a "successful businessman's duty" is to find out, at any given moment, what people want, and then give it to them.

"What will sell?"

One of Romney's closest advisers publicly stated that he doesn't "know what Romney really believes." 

Notably, the phrase "Etch-a-Sketch" was first applied to Romney by top aide Eric Fehrnstrom. In March, 2012, Mr. Fehrnstrom anticipated Romney's post-nomination campaign strategy, saying,  “Everything changes. It’s almost like an Etch A Sketch. You can kind of shake it up and restart all over again." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Fehrnstrom

"Choice" also spotlights Romney's adamant opposition to discussing Mormonism.

Here's why.

"Romney, Mormonism and Christianity"

The rise of clamorous opinion - and the correlative demise of epistemology - will make many citizens avoid "Choice" to forfend the disquieting incursion of truth.

Romney rebuts himself.
