If we had a functioning press, stuff like this would preclude the Stormin' Mormon from even contemplating public office, ever again:

"If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator Clinton or Obama would win. And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror." -- Mitt Romney at CPAC, 02.07.08

Because, you know, calling 150,000,000 Americans complicit in surrendering to terrorists is a legitimate side of the debate, deserving of uncritical repetition for the sake of "balance."
