how the conservative press criticism, which is far from universal and mostly from Washington conservatives, is the only thing you've heard about from the conservative side. Where do you get your information?
I also note that a lot of the criticism is from the sort of Republicans who think Jeb Bush would make an ideal candidate. Or Bob Dole. Nobody who's going to rock any comfortable boats in Washington.
It's less about Mitt's mistakes than the media painting over Obama's. The Middle East thing is just the most recent.
