Sorry Joe, if you are getting into the ring you better be prepared for it.
It's not right but that's how it is.
Develop a very thick skin so you can concentrate on the issues.
Do a Gingrich: Fire back without stooping to their level and don't let it get to you.
(Easier said than done of course.)
Give me a break. This was a set up by the MSM and the Dems. Instead of discussing the real issues that affect all Americans, the MSM plays this game with Reps. They do it at every level. Concentrate on social issues and avoid substantive issues.
Joe should have used the Romney approach. You ask the questions, but I answer them how I want period. He then should have launched into his message on jobs, the economy, etc. Just ignore the follow-ups and continue to stay on message. It drives the MSM mad.
