I'm guessing there is a good chance the #1 thing that Mitt practiced during his mock debates leading up to the real one against Obama was just exactly this.
He probably had all of this memorized including how he would stand and the looks he would give and possibly some tears welling up in his eyes.
Imagine if he did that in front of a massive audience being broadcasted on all the major network channels.
Obama would have looked like a bully and Romney would have looked remorseful and worthy of a second chance.
Denied!

So I'm to surmise that the Crack Fourth Estate will call Mitt on his "flip-flop" . . . .
