This is not about any of Mitt Romney's opinions, because apparently he doesn't have any in this election cycle. That's by design. Romney, thought he could come out with his patrician underbite and tease Barack Obama into defeat while avoiding issues, policy, and his own past. That strategy depended largely on Obama bringing NO attention to Romney's position on the issues, his policy ideas, and most importantly, Romney's past.
A million Bain attack ads later, Mitt Romney has become Mitt Possum. He's got nothing to say in his defense. Now that Romney's offshore cash and Swiss bank accounts are turning into the stuff of Democratic pile-ons, Romney is in denial. He knows that the worst place to be as a candidate is on the defensive, yet when you are being attacked, you have to respond. If Romney responds to the allegations of him being a wealthy, outsourcing, vulture, Swiss bank account-having, job destroying, flip-flopping, economy wrecker it will be an acknowledgement that he is being put on the defensive. But if he acts as if no one is making these charges, he maintains the upper hand. He stays in control of the debate. Right? Right?
Is it November yet?
