On the Sunday talk show thread, they made it sound like Russert was savaging Romney. Or to some, Romney was defending himself brilliantly.
I’m watching the video now and my head is spinning, trying to follow Romney’s reasoning. Russert is letting him off easy in my opinion.
For example: the relative who had an abortion is now gone as the foundation of his support of abortion. Now, it was just theoretical support.
Then his belief in pro-life is, he describes it, a political position. That’s his exact term.
Killing surplus embryos is ok with him, no explanation why they don’t count as living and protected, and Russert doesn’t persist in questioning him.
That’s just the pro-life issue. Then there’s the NRA membership and the illegal alien issue.
I may have to vote for this man, which really depresses me. Smooth? He is slicker than Clinton, more nuanced than Kerry. I don’t like him and I don’t trust him, and that’s the nicest thing I can say about him.
How can smart, sensible people like Charen, Coulter, and Bork swallow what he’s serving up?
Bork is anti-gun, so his affinity to Willard is obvious.
Coulter’s probably all smitten and goooshie.
Bork is easy to explain. He’s as anti-gun as Willard is!
I won't vote for him. I will vote down-ticket, but he has no chance at all in NM, so I can easily leave that spot blank.
