Sweeting Volume 10, Number 2 • February 2018 Editor, Jeff Hunt THE BATTLE FOR THE FUTURE IS ON honestly. I run into senators here and there, and I look at them OUR COLLEGE CAMPUSES and say, “I am so disappointed. What are you doing all day long?” Who else here worked, knocked on doors, and made Charlie Kirk, WCS17 phone calls so that they would repeal Obamacare? And then I have to sit here and listen to five senators who don’t have the backbone to do what they said they were going do, are you kidding me? For seven years we had to hear, “We’re going to repeal Obamacare, just give us the House.” We gave them the House. Then they said, “We need the Senate,” and we gave them the Senate. Then they said, “We need the White House.” Now they have all three chambers and we’re hearing nothing but excuses. What makes me the sickest is that the people who voted for a full repeal of Obamacare only did it because they knew Obama was going to veto it. They lied to us! They didn’t actually mean Charlie Kirk, speaking at the 2017 Western Conservative Summit. it. So excuse my candid, extemporaneous comments, but I’m just sick and tired of these people going to Washington, saying I come from Chicago, Illinois. I grew up twenty minutes down they’re going to do something, and not doing it.

Introduction: Romney’s Dilemma Mitt Romney woke up on the morning of September 11, 2012, with big hopes for this day – that he’d stop the slow slide of his campaign for the presidency. The political conventions were in his rear-view mirror, and the Republican nominee for the White House was trailing President Obama in most major polls. In an ABC News/Washington Post poll released at the start of the week, the former Massachusetts governor’s previous 1-point lead had flipped to a 6-point deficit.1 “Mr. Obama almost certainly had the more successful convention than Mr. Romney,” wrote Nate Silver, the polling guru and then-New York Times blogger.2 While the incumbent’s gathering in Charlotte was marked by party unity and rousing testimonials from Obama’s wife, Michelle, and former President Bill Clinton, Romney’s confab in Tampa had fallen flat.

Aggressive journalistic questioning in press conferences has increased over time (Clayman & Heritage, 2002; Clayman, Elliott, Heritage, & McDonald, 2004; Clayman, Elliott, Heritage, & McDonald, 2007), but recent scholarships shows that journalists present less aggressive questions when a foreign head of state is present (Banning & Billingsley, 2007).
