The moderators at the debates may well be a big plus for Romney.

Of course conservatives are upset by the decision to choose reliable Leftists of all sexes to moderate the upcoming debates. But we should not be upset. For one thing, there is not much to choose from. The members of the press range from the Left to those who still pine for Uncle Joe Stalin.. It’s probably better to have a moderator whose ideological bent is obvious (like Cathy Crowly telling us that by choosing Paul Ryan Mitt Romney had a death wish).

Why? The one thing that the nominating battle demonstrated is that the media is hated worse than narcs at a pot plantation. Newt Gingrich almost got the Republican nomination by picking a fight with the Liberal news media. The thing that the media personalities don’t yet realize is that they are hated. They think they are loved because they talk only to each other, they are paid big salaries and catered to by their sycophants. They have all the love and admiration that Louis XVI had just before the revolution carried his regime away.

Mitt Romney may just be one of the shrewdest businessmen of his time and you don’t get that way without becoming a student of what works. Don’t be surprised if he takes the lessons he learned watching Gingrich win debates by taking on the media. And it’s a lot easier to do when the media is openly hostile than if they go easy on you.
