Now so he doesn't have to argue about it later in the midst of the presidential campaign. i think this was both a diplomatic speech and political speech. designed to sort of take this off the table, lay out exactly what his plan is, henceforth throughout the campaign and indeed in the years ahead. politically, this was a -- this was a campaign speech. but interestingly mitt romney didn't complain. just a few minutes ago lawrence, mitt romney's campaign put out a very carefully worded statement, congratulate and thanking the president for going to afghanistan to talk to the troops to meet with ...

It? the story is now on the record and the public will just have to render judgment on who this man is. mitt romney knows this story has the potential to really hurt his candidacy. today, romney, the campaign put out a call for romney's old classmates to come forward and defend the candidate. romney did some damage control for himself on fox news today. >> i don't recall the incident, myself, but i've seen the reports and i'm not going to argue with that. there's no question that i did some stupid things when i was in high school. and obviously, if i hurt anyone by virtue of that, i would be v...
