And I thought Mikelson was rude and boorish, never letting Mitt answer, and presuming to know more about Mitt’s church than Mitt himself.

Then there’s the whole issue of filming someone “off the record” without telling them, and posting it on YouTube for the world to see a “private” conversation.

I don’t support Romney, but I don’t agree with disingenuous “gotcha” conservatives, either.

I don’t support Romney, but I don’t agree with disingenuous “gotcha” conservatives, either.

I don't think even Hannity has stooped that low. Notice that it was an ambush cam, set in advance to film Romney, not to record the interviewer at all though it could easily have captured both.

My perception of Mikelson was that he was trying to get Romney to answer the question and Romney kept trying to filibuster without giving an answer.

Regardless, Mikelson is not running for President. Romney is. Romney came off as thin-skinned. He is not my candidate, but I did indicate that I could vote for him if he is the nominee, but performances like his on Mikelson make that possibility, which is already a long shot, even less likely.

Getting into a fight with Mikelson on the eve of the Ames Straw poll is a bad strategic error for a guy who has to win big in that poll. If Romney has a disappointing showing, he is toast.

I do hope he lasts long enough to be in a debate with Fred Thompson, because if he can’t face Jan Mikelson and he runs away from Mike Wallace, FDT is going to eat his lunch.
