46. I think Romney was coached on Russert's Questions before the Debate...
Edited on Fri Jan-25-08 04:06 PM by Junkdrawer
The REAL scandal of the Romney whisper is that Romney knew the thrust of the question BEFORE Russert could finish it.

Transcript:

Russert: Governor Romney, you're a big fan of Ronald Reagan. Will you do for Social Security what Ronald Reagan did in 1983?

(Whisper): raised taxes

Romney: I'm not gonna raise taxes. What I'm gonna do...

Russert: Well Ronald Reagan raised the payroll tax and he raised the retirement age...

Romney: I'm not gonna raise taxes


The whisper was to Russert, but Romney KNEW where Russert was going before Russert got there.
