Actually it’s just as well Romney doesn’t go on Nickleoden. The whole thing stinks of a setup to me. First of all, it’s a childrens network, so there is no political advantage. Second of all it sounds like a perfect opportunity for a Democrat to feed a child a “gotcha” question, which would then become the big news event. It would become a huge story, recieving major coverage and the underlying message would be that Romney can’t even handle kids, so how can he deal with world leaders. Thanks but no thanks... Nice move missing that Mitt!
Great points.
I would add that it also takes him off the campaign trail. That alone is an attempt to sabotage his campaign. In addition, I think this is an attempt to trivialize Romney and his campaign. They are trying to drag him down to Zippy’s level by having him appear at “fluffy” venues, like Zippy on Letterman and The View. They had to look for something even more trivial than those two and they thought they found it in Nickelodeon.
