I predict that he will continue not to actually articulate any policy whatsoever.


Well, yes. His debate performance will no doubt be all attacks bookended by lame attempts to actually say something of substance.

The USA shouts were not aimed at the woman onstage. There was a rebellion of Ron Paul delegates against a decision not to seat Paul delegates from Maine, and the USAs were meant to shout them down. Why Romney's people wanted to piss off Ron Paul, I have no idea. They also refused to announce any votes for Paul from the stage. It's not as though there was any chance Paul was going to surprise us and win; it would have cost Romney nothing to be generous.


Except for that the only "generosity" he shows is forced on him by his church. I doubt he has a truly gracious or caring bone in his body for anyone outside of his privileged, white world.

But he understands profit, and it seems there is a lot more profit in making the Paulistas as happy as he can.

They have to balance out all the old white people. It looks like a gathering of AARP.
