tampa, media will be there looking for a story, and it puts mitt romney and paul ryan in a very awkward position, if the party adopts a platform that is at odds with what they re saying on that issue and it becomes an embarrassment. last thought is this, every day we re talking about social issues, is a bad day for the romney/ryan ticket a good day for the president, i say. maybe this is a good day for women, maybe it s not the economy, but certainly something important to women and honestly, should be to menace well. shawna, as michael noted, the language that the gop platform could perhaps include, is the same language from 2004, 2008, which would oppose abortions in all circumstances, rape and incest. mitt romney would be the latest candidate following john mccain and george w. bush who stand against this language or at least who don t agree with it. let me play what wrnc chairman
