Mr. Etch-A-Sketch: I am not an Etch-A-Sketch. I'm a conservative Republican. Now and forever.

Mr. Etch-A-Sketch: I am not an Etch-A-Sketch. I'm a conservative Republican. Now and forever.

Best AP headline and lede combination ever:

Romney says he's no Etch A Sketch, is conservative

Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney is trying to shake accusations that he's an inconsistent conservative after a top adviser compared him to an Etch A Sketch toy.

According to Jake Tapper, this is what Romney said:

"I'm running as a conservative Republican,I was a conservative Republican governor,I will be running as a conservative Republican nominee"
— @jaketapper via web

Yeah, yeah. But can you really trust the words of an Etch-A-Sketch?

Rmoney is trying to "shake" being compared to an Etch-A-Sketch by his own adviser.
