As far as I can tell, Romney handles the press as well as nybody. Time will tell.

This is handling the press well?

Again asking Romney to come back to show, Mickelson offered, "I hope we can do this so we can expend some quality time on here rather than the sound bytes."

"No, I don't like coming on the air and having you go after me and my church," Romney testily responded.

"I'm not going after your church; I agree with your church!" Mickelson replied somewhat incredulously.

"I'm not running as a Mormon," Romney came back, "and I get a little tired of coming on a show like yours and having it all about Mormon."

"See, I don't mind about it being all about that," Mickelson explained.

"I do. I do," Romney struck back.

Defensive, evasive and "testy".

“This is handling the press well?”

I watched the entire video and Mitt’s responses were appropriate. Please note that words like “testily” “incredulously” “explained” “struck back” were not part of the dialog but were added to color the event. It helps to watch the video unfiltered and unadorned.

Your excerpt was a the tail end, after Mickelson had insisted on making Mormonism the topic of the show. He badgered and interrupted Romney both on-air and in the breaks. Mitt was affable and responded with reason throughout. Let’s present your excerpt without the color commentary:

Mickelson: “I hope we can do this so we can expend some quality time on here rather than the sound bytes.”

Romney: “No, I don’t like coming on the air and having you go after me and my church.”

Mickelson: “I’m not going after your church; I agree with your church!”

Romney: “I’m not running as a Mormon, and I get a little tired of coming on a show like yours and having it all about Mormon.”

Mickelson: “See, I don’t mind about it being all about that.”

Romney: “I do. I do.”

Even in your excerpt, Mickelson is being unreasonable and making it all about Mormonism despite Romney's protests.

Mickelson pushed too hard and forced a confrontation that Romney handled well. I, for one, am tired of the Mormon emphasis. We don't do that with Catholics, Baptists, Methodists, Jews, or even Muslims. It's Muslims who are practicing terrorism, not Mormons.
