front-runner at this point in time in the campaign. but that worked out pretty well, huh? it s not that i don t respect the politics of romney. i understood why he was playing in the nitmus protection program. as a columnist, i m allowed to have an opinion. and i just thought his statement yesterday was disgusting. it kind of ducked the issue which is i can t personally support this but i understand the pickle that republicans are in. so it was sort of classic romney. where is he exactly? and it was just so irresponsible. because if he were in the oval office, what would he be doing? i want to show you say poll in pennsylvania. mitt romney leading obama. this is pennsylvania. it s already over. republicans are going to win the white house. so this protection program is working. let the president run against himself. i ve worked on too many democratic campaigns. if the election were held today.
