Romney cancels interview with Gwen Ifil and others on Moday. He is afraid of another gaffe!! Ha, he

doesn't even know what will come out of his own mouth!! This is too funny. Romney is a clown. Ryan is trying to build his
bona fides for a 2016 run.

How much longer can he hide before he has to go before the cameras and answer questions?

Mitt can't wait until the debates and then just give smartass answers and hope to win people over to his side.

It makes a lie out of Mitt's claim that he decided 10 days ago.

This announcement, at 9 AM on an August Saturday during the last weekend of the Olympics, smacks of a move in desperation. It had to happen quickly. Ifill was trumpeting the interview Friday. So the decision had to come after PBS had set this up.

I don't know how quickly Romney could have set up the USS Wisconsin venue, but I imagine that they could do that pretty quickly. Anybody know if it could be done in less than 24 hours?

If not, that would blow my arguably wild speculation out of the water.

Regardless, setting up interviews and then canceling them so soon, right after this announcement is a tell. I may be interpreting it wrong, but it means something.
