Lots of standard campaign messaging here, but delivered smoothly and with style. The subtle dig on Mrs. Romney’s contribution to Planned Parenthood is well played indeed. There’s some steel in this magnolia. And does Heather Nauert almost call John McCain “McVain?”

Did Fred really never watch Law & Order until he heard from the show’s producers? He and I have that in common, because to this day I’ve never sat through more than half an episode, pre or post the advent of Fred.
