"Fred handles the press better than anyone."

Fred has his moments. But he looks like he is going to fall dead at any moment. He has a good message, just seems he can't articulate it that well and sometimes seems like he doesn't want to either. I think he is going to drop out and support McCain.

Romney wasn’t being truthful.

Explain this in the context that adviser and appointed campaign chairperson are, in your view, one and the same. This is in fact what you have said here.

Johnson declined comment last night, saying The Associated Press would let the story and video “speak for itself.”

Yeah it does speak for itself, it shows the reporter to be unprofessional and wrong on the facts - a Michael Moore in training.

I had a similar reaction. I love our President (uh, in the brotherly sense of course), :) but the prospect of being able to watch my president handle the press in a way that Bush has been unable to makes Romney look very good here. His remark about “why would I spend my own money to do favors for lobbyists” was particularly beautiful.

As much as I despise dumb lying liberals like Glen whatever, I wish Romney could have handled douches like that more expertly...with humor for example.

Better watch out when jouranlists lose their tempers. They’re ticking timebombs, just waiting to go off:

The guy isn’t a reporter, he’s an advocate at this point.

As such, his credentials should be pulled by the campaign.

Romney was a lot nicer to that obnoxious fat pig than I would have been. The first thing I would have said to him would have been “Stand up when you talk to me”, and it would have gone downhill from there.

“A veteran reporter from Boston got under Mitt Romney’s skin”

Seeing the media gush over Hillary/Obama and rant about Republicans isn’t even glossed over any more. The worst outrage is their continued pretense of objectivity.

I thought Romney handled this with his usual class. The reporter is a jerk and came across as such.

That AP reporter obviously holds up David Gregory posters with one hand.

Yeah, lobbyists are his close personal advisors that travel with him but have nothing to do with his run.

Typical Mitt. He’s doing it but he doesn’t mean it.

I think he articulates his conservative positions better than anyone-especially Huck-who avoids the question with potty humor and what he thinks are clever quips. Fred answered the question about dropping out and supporting McCain and said that that notion is ridiculous. Huck is a snake oil salesman and it’s plain to see. He gives me the creeps.

Don’t call him a lobbyist, call him a personal friend, LOL.

The job title doesn’t change the fact that Mitt is in a lobbyist’s pocket.

OMG! This guy is a David Gregory wanna be! What a jerk-off excuse for an impartial “just the facts” journalist.
