As absurd as the whole dog issue is, at least somebody finally hit back. Granted, it’s four years too late for McCain. If Romney is going to be the guy, he’d better be ready to hit back early, often, and below the belt. Every time he’s asked about the dog, his surrogates need to say “we didn’t eat the dog like Obama did”. Every time “Mormon” comes up, they need to be ready with Reverend Wright’s latest and greatest. Every single time, without hesitation, while the candidate himself focuses on the issues. We’ll see if they know how to play this game.
Any time they ask a Mormon question, Romney should simply say to the Drive-By: “Interesting question, what was Democrat Harry Ried’s response to that question?”
