It has turned out that Mitt Romney’s Meet the Press appearance appeared decent at the time, but mistakes seem to be coming out of the woodwork. Race 4 2008 has one write-up.
First, there was Romney’s lie about the NRA endorsement. He claimed that he had received it in 2002. He hadn’t. Just made it up.
Second, [...]

Mitt Romney didn’t tell the truth. Again.
In answer to questions about whether he would sign an assault weapons ban, Romney said: "Just as the president said, he would have, he would have signed that bill if it came to his desk, and so would have I. And, and, and yet I also was pleased to [...]

Finally, the Republicans catch a break. SCOTUS will be considering and deciding a case on gun rights once the debate is focused on the nominees. This is no-lose for Republicans,

On the issue, Sharpton is wrong and Romney is right. But Sharpton is so much more funny:

I think it is notable when one candidate attacks another by name. Especially when it is this scathing.

Last week, Mitt Romney shot himself in the foot by answering a question about hunting. The guy who asked the question was tracked down by a Boston TV station. Here’s what he had to say, and it is brutal:
Some quotes:

Sorry for being a little off-topic, but I thought this was classic.

On Face the Nation yesterday, Mike Huckabee attacked Mitt Romney over his hunting record. He said:
"I think it was a major mistake," said Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor. "It would be like me saying I’ve been a lifelong golfer because I played putt-putt when I was 9 years old and I rode in a golf [...]

Romney said:
I’ve been a hunter pretty much all my life. I’ve never really shot anything terribly big. I used to hunt rabbits.
Monty Python’s Mosquito Hunter said:
I’ve been a hunter all my life.

Note also from that AP story:
Romney added: "Shooting a rabbit with a single-shot .22 is pretty hard, and after watching [...]
