The lawyer question did not involve an imminent threat and has been mischaracterized in the media. Those whose candidate's numbers are falling are using it shamelessly knowing full well it doesn't mean what they are implying.

Clearly, if necessary, action will be taken by Romney:

"And it is unacceptable to this country to allow that individual to have he control of launching a nuclear weapon. And so we will take the action necessary to keep that from happening. And I think each person on the stage, certainly in my case, I would make sure that we would take the action necessary to keep Iran from having a nuclear weapon." – Gov. Mitt Romney (CNBC, Republican Presidential Candidate Debate, Dearborn, MI, 10/9/07)

Romney has made very strong, unequivocal statements about decisive action in the face of an imminent attack in prior debates.

--->Paul Mirengoff, at Power Line, discussing what he calls a "Faux Gotcha Moment," defends Governor Romney against an "over-the-top" attack and puts his record on Iran in context in the following post.

Here's the key quote:

"… no candidate has been more forceful or specific than Romney in insisting that a nuclear Iran is unacceptable. Romney was perhaps the first announced candidate to stress this position, doing so in a January 2007 speech to a gathering in Herziliya, Israel. I haven't seen a better statement on the subject since …"

Spin, spin, spin... EXACTLY like paul begala or carville would do in defense of hildebeast. So typical of a mittite.
To those of us with excellent comprehension skills and that actually watched last night... we KNOW what mitt said... undeniable and indefensible.
