Mid-Life Crisis: Mitt Romney is returning to his moderate roots, at least temporarily. He had been scoping out social conservative stances in preparation for his presidential run. But recently he decided to require all hospitals to provide morning-after contraception to rape victims -- denying private Catholic hospitals an exemption that they sought.

I can't imagine such a little gesture would torpedo his chances at the Republican presidential nomination. But even if it does, at least he's doing the right thing.
