Given what a big stage this is, we think its best for Mitt to stay away from potentially divisive topics that could raise any doubts or cast him in a negative light among voters, such as his family background, his church, his childhood and teen years, his term as Massachusetts governor, his income level and tax rate, his finances in general, and basically any of his views past or present on health care, abortion, gun control, immigration, environmental protection, and same-sex rights, said chief speechwriter Lindsay Hayes

perform several miracles.
That, at least, would have been worth watching.
