I think preaching to the choir by any presidential candidate is a waste of time, particularly with this election. Maybe with this election, Obama doing so would help him as he has lost his luster with many moderate Democrats more so than Romney, who the GOP (hard right -to-moderate) has embraced despite his moderate history. For Obama to go on Fox, he would not be wasting his time, even though he in no way his going to convince a hard right Republican to vote for him. But it would show some balls. Where as Romney has a chance at capturing the moderate/conservative Democratic vote, so it would benefit him more so to go into enemy territory
I have no idea how many moderate/conservative Democrats watch Maddow, but I have heard she does a good job interviewing folks on the right. I think Rand Paul has been on her show numerous times. So maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea for Romney to step into the circle with Maddow.
This presidential election again hinges on the independent/moderate vote. Whoever carries that vote will be president in 2012. That said, both Romney and Obama should step in the fire and appear within the media that appeals to that said demographic.
Sooner or later, Romney will have to leave the safety of Fox asking him anti-Obama questions and have to start fielding hard questions on his positions
For now, he is trying to avoid a YouTube moment
well just keep repeating that. it's boring already
