I hear you. I should have included "and the GOP establishment" in my target list. A nominee should not have to surrender debate control to some weak-kneed commission!

If Romney had boycotted the debates, he would have been crucified in the media. As it was, it was the first time most Americans, especially lefties, got to hear him unfiltered, uncut, undistorted by the media.
True. But as Rumsfeld said “You go to war with the army you have-—not the army you might want or wish to have at a later time.”
Romney has done a great job with the situation he was handed. He has taken a major disadvantage and made it work in his favor. He was not my first choice in the primaries, but he has totally impressed me as the nominee.
