This is the tactic John McCain took in 2008. We all know how that worked out. The GOP candidate needs to be willing to vet Obama. The mainstream media will never do the job. We can't afford a timid candidate.
RCP:
Gov. ROMNEY: Well, my message is I'm not going to say outrageous things about the president or about my opponents. It gets headlines and a lot of excitement, and it gets you, by the way, a number of days in the polls to get a nice little bump. But I'm going to talk about the real issues Americans face and talk with respect about people who have differing views. I'm not going to attack them personally.
Wouldn't be surprised if it turns out like last time, a lot of the strong conservative voters saying 'why bother' and stay home.

Dear Mitt,
ReplyDeleteDebating someone who won't (or can't) debate you on policy will lose you voters. The MSM won't stand for you actually holding the One's feet to the fire on any issue, regardless of if you are right on it.
