night. the strength of rom no s arguments are that they are well thought out. he doesn t put himself in a position to be attacked on the flank. you know, you either think a phony or you don t, that is up to the folks, but he is economically grounded. i mean that s his strength, he s economically grounded. bill: but you opened up with a values question. you questioned him about abortion. how do you think he did on that? not well. that was the weakest part of the interview. you say to yourself, listen if you believe that human life begins at conception and you re terminating a human being, you can t for political reasons support that in any way. and he gets in trouble on that, because he says, well i ve always been somebody who believed that the fetus is a baby, but for political reasons i didn t want to go up against
