Did you notice how Blitzer cut Romney off as soon as he started giving his answer? He had to talk faster than any of the others who were allowed to ramble on (particularly McCain.) And why the repeating of the Mormon question? It’s been in every debate. Are they trying to get Romney to blow up? He never does. He keeps his cool and gives a pleasant answer every time. Blitzer seems to be trying to make Mormonism an issue. I don’t think it is except for some yahoo with no teeth living in the sticks somewhere.
We all knew the CNN thing with Wolf had an agenda going in... We just didn't know how it would manifest itself, or at what candidate.
This was Mitt's time in the barrel... Like when Matthews was honing in on Giuliani.
The nasty questions were pointed at Mitt last night, with even the 'Spanish' advertisement question scripted from the audience.
While he handled it OK, I think it took Mitt off has plan... and he was struggling to fit his point in with the boxed questions and limited time to answer.
All in all, he did much better than almost any of the others would have done in the same situation... with the possible exception of Giuliani.
