Mitt Romney Must Answer These Five Questions in the Debates
Night 1 of the Democratic National Convention was a huge success: real emotion, true diversity, grace from Michelle Obama, substantive distinctions drawn without vitriol. The best of Democratic rhetoric was on display. Whether any of that will matter in November remains unclear, as conventions are increasingly viewed only by true believers. Tonight there is the added distraction of the NFL season opener. And the unemployment data that will come out Friday could dominate the weekend news if they show anything outside the range of 100,000 to 200,000 net new jobs. (Fewer than 100,000 will be a major problem for the president, more than 200,000 will be a momentum builder.)
The best line of the opening night came not from any of the live speakers, but from the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, in the video tribute to his remarkable career. He lanced Mitt Romney in the senatorial debate back in 1994 with the line that still speaks to Romney’s greatest flaw: lack of constancy. Kennedy said to Romney, on the issue of a woman’s right to an abortion: “I am pro-choice, you are multiple choice.”
