THIS IS NOT ABOUT MITT!
Don't be stupid, don't make it about Mitt.
Let Mitt be Mitt, he does that job better than anyone else!
Those who care about this issue already know about this issue. If Romney speaks up about it it will take the heat OFF of Obama.
When your enemy is walking off a cliff, GET OUT OF THE WAY!
Here’s the thing - many of the responses assume that the situation re the media and the people is static. That does not necessarily have to be the case. A leader leads by having the confidence in him/herself to 1) know what is right 2) and be able to convince others to follow his lead. This is what Reagan did.
There is no question the media and Obama would attempt to crucify Romney if he attacked on this issue. But Romney has what very few Republicans will ever have, he has the bullypulpit. They can’t ignore him. If he holds a press conference, they have to cover it.
I’m pretty cynical, but I also believe that there are alot of people who are completely sick of the lying media and lying politicians and who would respond well to someone who calls a spade a spade in very blunt terms (BTW, this is one of the reasons he won the first debate).
