I agree with Huntsman in one respect in that we should not fall into the traps that allow the media and the Dems to paint these positions as radical.

For example, when Romney and Ryan were asked about their positions on abortion, they should have kept those views private, saying that their positions were personal and had nothing at all to to with the real issues that affect our country. This is what the average voters want to hear.

You never see the media asking Dem candidates about their positions on abortion, birth control, etc. They only do so to Republican candidates, and they do so for the sole purpose of marginalizing them on election day. (See: Todd Akin) Do not ever under any circumstance engage a member of the MSM or any debate moderator when it comes to these social issues.

Ridiculous, when you are running on a position, then you have to speak on it, defend it, promote it, and win the election partly based on it, or else the agenda doesn't exist, and it has no presence in the public or political arena.

By the way, when asked about abortion, on August 27th by CBS News, Romney clearly stated that he rejected the party's pro-life platform, and supported abortion on demand, by calling for "health" of the mother.
