Right now the Romney story is as much a bipartisan blogger
story as anything else so I'm not sure it's a "MSM out to get a
conservative" tale. But to be clear, it's not the worst possible
story for Romney, it's just a bad one and coupled with other
attacks is not what he needs. And James P., I entirely agree that
to the extent this is a story, it is in large part due to this
peculiar beating around the bush routine from his campaign. I don't
get that at all.
UPDATE: Jim Geraghty has a new witness. Still
no video or audio tape but the count is up to five witnesses (not
all at the same event). At some point the Romney folks will need to
decide if they will walk back whatever muddled sort of denials they
put out there.
