To just be seen next to Obama gives Romney legitimacy. In a perfect world, I wish they'd never inhabit the same room. Everyone knows that when you're losing, you challenge the front-runner to a debate. All it will take is one soundbite or cleverly delivered line to change the narrative slightly for the mouthbreathing populace, and we need all the cushion we can get.
