Voting for a guy who might get us a 6-3 or 7-2 Supreme Court is compromising principles? The Supreme Court obama constructs will impact us for 15-20 years!

And answer every question that way for the next 4 years. Remind everyone who started the partisanship. The Democrats promised to blame Bush “forever”. They meant it, and its working.”
Because he has to appear to be agreeable for now. If he doesn’t and Sequestration and the “fiscal cliff” happen, the Republicans will be blamed. Remember the Left OWNS THE MEDIA. That is why 53% of the dopes that made up the electorate still believe Bush is to blame for the economy rather than Barney Frank and his ilk.
The Left owns the mass media. We get blamed for every negative.
The Left doesn't own the live interview. Reagan proved it can be done. Debate #1 proved it still can be done. No budget = Sequestration. Sunset Bush Tax Cuts = Dem Tax Hike. Simple, consistent messaging. Force the media to stop interviewing Republicans, expose themselves further with Candy Crowley events or let the Republicans talk. Then buy time for press conferences for any event, like a vote. Make the whole Congressional session a campaign.

How many times were mics in the faces of Republicans and they were silent on Frank-Dodd?

They owned it in Reagan's time. He bypassed them. They owned it in W's time. He bypassed them. Bush could have done more, but chose not to.
