Take note of the rest of my comment.

Renditions are still going on. So is NSA surveillance. Any noise out there? I already discussed the sudden disappearance of anti-war protest coverage. Where are the daily war casualty counts in the papers? On less serious note, Obama was asked on Letterman what the national debt was. Obama--you know, the President--said he didn't know. If a Republican said that, it would be news for weeks. Seems to me being a Democrat means never having to say you're sorry. Abu Ghraib would not have made daily headlines under a Democratic president.

Media problem again. If Romney is a stupid ass, the issue is that the media recognized that and reported it. Being a Conservative is never having to say I'm wrong, or sorry.
