The chatter among the blogs after the last Republican debate centres on Mitt Romney's answer to one question. Asked if he would seek congressional approval for an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, Romney replied: "You sit down with your attorneys and they tell you what you have to do...."
Republican bloggers are not overjoyed at President Romney's first reaction being to call in the lawyers. Over at RedState a blogger asks: "Isn't that exactly what Bill Clinton did when he allowed Bin Laden to get away after being being advised by his attorneys?"
But what's worse for a Republican than being compared to Bill Clinton? Being compared to John Kerry, as The Corner does in passing on a Rudy Giuliani press release it calls a "2004 flashback".
The New Republic's The Plank sums it all up, calling Romney's words "lame and weaselly," before also comparing him to Kerry.
