Why is Romney talking about how great party cooperation is?

Despite the fact that Republicans for the last 2 years have practiced unprecedented obstructionism in Congress, including blocking every bill that did not give them exactly what they wanted (even those drafted by bi-partisan committees) and even threatening to block the raising of the debt ceiling (causing the US to DEFAULT on its debt) to get the policies they demanded put in place.

    Because most "middle-of-the-road" conservatives/Republicans think that the only way they can get elected is to be pro "party cooperation." Bush Jr. suffered this same mindset. He tried to please EVERYONE and get EVERYONE's cooperation (he did this as Texas governor, too) and in so doing, pleases no one and gets nothing done.
