I totally agree - CNN is VERY afraid of Romney, and many people in this forum totally underestimate him - he is NOT an empty suit.
Fox news tonight selectively picked one thing to discuss about Romney and the debate - his abortion switch. Just noted it, nothing else. I thought that was very odd. If he’s not a threat, why bother? The way they discussed the candidates made it seem like they had an agenda to influence public opinion.
One reason is Romney can’t be painted as a hard right conservative. He can pick up a lot of moderates, independents and Reagan Democrats. So far he has no identified skeletons in his closet. If he comes out with strong ideas on so called Dem issues like healthcare, Social Security and the environment they are in trouble.
