NBC: Romney Must "Backtrack" From His Conservative Positions, But Obama Might "Cause Itself Damage" If It Backtracks Away From Joe Biden's Gay-Marriage Support

We sometimes claim they're inconsistent, but they're not.

The Republicans must move left.

The Democrats, too, must move left.

Perfectly consistent, really.

Talking to Meet the Press host David Gregory on Monday's NBC Today, co-host Ann Curry pushed for Mitt Romney to move away from conservatives: "...does he have to work really hard now to backtrack off of some of his positions in the past, as he was trying to win the primary...?" [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump]

In a stunning double standard, in her very next question, Curry fretted about President Obama distancing himself from Vice President Biden's support of gay marriage: "There's been some backtracking, it seems, by the White House. Is it possible that the White House could cause itself some damage in backtracking too much off of this?"
