I worked for a man running for president who made one “misstatement” that wasn’t even wrong, but the press made it look like a power grab and they kept using it against him, over and over and over. Best thing we can do in a situation like this is punt.

Would that man be Al Haig?

Ah, yes...those are the key words..."the press".
So even when you recognize a media attack you think it's better to cave than fight?

You don't score points if you keep giving the ball away, especially when it is only the second down and not the fourth.
