So, WHY did Mittens choose the Friday News Dump [View all]

to refute the questions about Bain?

I'll admit, it was pretty ballsy to grant interviews with all the major broadcast news and 2 cable channels. OK, the cable channels don't really count (Friendly Fox and a Fox Wannabe).

But why schedule it so that it will air on the day and time slot that is almost guaranteed to get the least amount of coverage?

Unless Romney's handlers were afraid of what he might say - after all, he does tend to only open his mouth to change feet.

Or is he really afraid of something? Is the Obama Campaign really close to something that Rmoney doesn't want to come out?

Hmmmm, so many questions.....
