Romney again insults voters (whom he terms 'excitable') by implying all we're looking for is personal attacks. And if we weren't such 'excitable' hicks maybe he could address issues. Romney should drop out of the race. As Soros said, Obama and Romney are the same, they just come with different people around them.

CNBC's Larry Kudlow asked Romney to describe his message.
"Romney’s response:
Well, my message is I’m not going to say outrageous things about the president or about my opponents. It gets headlines and a lot of excitement, and it gets you, by the way, a number of days in the polls to get a nice little bump. But I’m going to talk about the real issues Americans face and talk with respect about people who have differing views. I’m not going to attack them personally. I mean, I know that’s fun, but it’s just not productive.
Dismissing personal attacks, Romney said he wants the country to come together and, despite their differences, he sees that both Democrats and Republicans love this country. “I want to lead the country,” he said. “I don’t want to castigate half of Americans.”"

Romney, the biggest jump in the polls was after Gingrich bashed the elite media-not Obama. The reasons why we cheered follow:
1/20/12, "Newt Gingrich’s lambasting of John King follows a popular line among Republicans," Washington Post, Paul Farhi
"The CNN host stepped on a land mine named Newt Gingrich when he opened Thursday night’s Republican presidential debate by asking him about his second ex-wife’s allegation that he suggested she accept his affair as part of their marriage.
Gingrich’s now-famous response practically blew back King’s hair. “I think the destructive, vicious, negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country, harder to attract decent people to run for public office,” he said to thunderous applause during the forum in Charleston, S.C. “And I am appalled that you would begin a presidential debate on a topic like that.”
To even more enthusiastic applause, the former House speaker added, “I am tired of the elite media protecting Barack Obama by attacking Republicans.”
Gingrich’s shoot-the-messenger answer may be one of the most memorable moments of the campaign and a potential boost for his candidacy against front-runner Mitt Romney."...
