Just in case you sometimes get Mormons and Quakers confused, Mitt Romney cleared things up Monday night.
?Bin Laden got what he deserved,? Romney, a Mormon, said at a Republican debate in South Carolina. ?A bullet in the head.?
Continue ReadingThe crowd, as debate crowds sometimes do, went wild.
The audience assembled in Myrtle Beach at a Fox/Wall Street Journal debate seemed so amped up even before the debate began, in fact, that I thought they were going to have to string up chicken wire to protect the candidates.
The primary is Saturday, and it is generally agreed that if Romney wins - - it would be his third victory in a row - - the Republican nominating race effectively will be over, just 18 days after it began.
So spirits are running high, and all the other Republicans are running hard at Romney.
This was the 16th time the Republican field has debated, and the object for the moderators was similar to the previous 15 debates: Get the candidates to snarl and snap at each other, because snarling and snapping is a lot better TV than a discussion of Iran?s possible closing of the Strait of Hormuz (which didn?t come up).
Romney?s opponents have been hoping ever since he began leading in the polls that he has a glass (if not crystal) chin and that it will shatter after a few quick punches.
And the evening did not begin well for Romney.
?Mitt, we need for you to release your income tax, so people can find out how you made your money,? Rick Perry said. ?The people of South Carolina have to decide whether they have a flawed candidate or not. We cannot fire our nominee in September. We need to know now.?
Romney simply ducked the punch, but later in the evening, a moderator made him answer. Romney replied that he would ?probably? release his tax returns in April - - a point at which he hopes to have the nomination already wrapped up.
