Mitt has been playing a game in which he navigates the soft areas ... out lasts his GOP rivals, and then goes against Obama ... if he gets to that point, he won't release much, and he'll try to get independent voters to agree that it is a non issue.

Mitt is trying to cross a mine field. He'll throw grenades at Obama, and then hunker down.

I don;t think he can win this way ... but he could just become the GOP nominee ... aka .. the next Bob Dole.
