Team Obama is seeing some numbers they don't like, IMHO. They've called out their media attack dogs (Letterman, The View) to taunt Romney, lure into a trap. If they can't generate some gaffes, they'll manufacture them through creative editing.
If Mitt refuses, they can at least claim they were objective - after relentlessly savaging Romney and sucking up to Obama, they tried to give Romney some equal time...
Romney should come on, take a cell phone call in the first minute and tell Dave that he has to go, Conan O’Brien has an opening.
Exactly.
