The only way Romney could have appeared any limper in the next two debates would have been by laying on the floor with his tongue hanging out.

No, you weren’t the only one to notice.
Quite a few of us noticed.
*hat tip*
The Romneybots in forum, though, flipped out every time it was pointed out that Romney fought lightyears harder against Republicans than he ever fought against Obama.

That is what makes it so difficult to understand.

He showed he could hit high and low but then he completely folded.

Was there some behind the scenes force brought into play?

But if there was some hidden vulnerability, why would he think of running again?

It all just does not add up.

The only way Romney could have appeared any limper in the next two debates would have been by laying on the floor with his tongue hanging out.

In fact, Mitt Romney was so riven by conflicting desires that he deserved a Faye Dunaway Award (named for her “She’s my sister! She’s my daughter!” rant in Chinatown) for his “Make me president! Don’t let me be president!” ambivalence. He expressed it passive-aggressively, by allowing himself to be bullied ever farther to the right during the primaries—even as he bullied his opponents personally from still farther right. It made him seem both weak and nasty.

And you could see the ambivalence in his body language. When Mitt walks forward, his short, halting steps seem to pull him back, turning a brief trip to the microphone into a parody of a middle-aged white person moon-walking. On stage, during debates, he’d often look on wistfully, almost dreamily, at the other candidates while they spoke, as if he’d be “ecstatic,” as Tagg says, if only somebody like that could win the coveted office.
