Where has Romney been when the rest of the R candidates have been screaming?
He's been noticeably absent in Iowa. He's also been noticeably absent period. WHile Bachmann & Pawlenty & Santorum & Paul etc. have been spinning themselves in to the ground, I'm pretty certain ole Mitt has been holed up with the old money guys working on ways to cut the economy off at the knees to gain political advantage. Was S&P just a starting point?

1. he's keeping his head down. you know how on survivor someone will keep their head down
and keep in the background while others take each other out and then end up the victor in the end... well romney is hoping he can keep his head down, keep out of the religious stuff and come out of this able to be tolerable in a general election. will that happen? not sure. i think perry was gonna try a similar tact but that prayer a palooza doesn't help.

2. Romney knows he can't get the batshitcrazy vote
Bachmann has that wrapped up. So, he is going for the sane vote. You know the saying better that people think you are stupid(in this case crazy) than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

3. Yeah, that would be my guess too...
Laying low, letting the others rip each others', and their own, fur out by the roots.

Then he'll come in looking like the only sane one in the bunch.

4. He's laying low, raking in $1Mil donations, having his supporters downgrade the US credit to AA+
He's letting the other guys tear each other apart...since he is the predetermined "front runner"
