Message: We Care [Byron York]
Back in Washington for a minute before heading to S.C. Between now and the Florida primary on January 29, we might see a major shift in the Republican race: the campaign could slip completely out of the realm of national-security conservatives. National security pretty much dominated the debates leading up to primary season, but now, if Romney's success in Michigan prompts more and more candidate attention to economic issues, the campaign will take on a new, decidedly post-war-on-terror feel. And if that happens, it will probably go in directions that few conservatives are happy with. When candidates start talking about easing voters' pain, there's no telling what they will promise – Romney's $20 billion check to the auto industry might be just the beginning.
