AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!

They are all terrified of being labeled "racist." Romney is acting almost exactly as McCain did when faced by the Obama attack machine.

You can't win solely taking the High Road. I hate that. I wish it were not so, but that's the truth. Attack ads are hated by all, but are effective--people instinctively and subconsciously react to the message contained. It is an extension of "The Big Lie." Hammer it long enough and loud enough and the lie becomes "truth."

Severin is right; Romney needs to bring out those long knives he was so willing to use to destroy his primary opponents.

It is racism to patronize a black candidate. You want to get out of the racist mode you have to attack him like he was a white Conservative!

I don't think Romney can do that.
