cluding that there was no plan to seek to delay the hostages' release." (Wikipedia)

Isn't it a question as to with whom Team Romney would have made any agreement, what about, and why?

but they will be hidden inside of a very large handkerchief until the key moment when he will just go "Look! 10 years of my taxes! In yo' face Harry Reid! Boo Yah!"

To show the voters how tricky he is Mitt will whip out an eyeball he will claim is Bin Laden's and say that Obama's security is so poor he, Mitt Romney, was able to sneak into a CIA vault and retrieve it.

any Commander-in-Chief can be caught off-guard by any supposed foreign policy "surprise." That is, given his (Obama's) position, I can't see how there is any information Mitt would be privy to that Obama would not be.

Remember Lieberman correcting McCain repeatedly overseas when he often said Iran when he meant Iraq - and other errors?

Suggesting it is Lieberman might be the surprise. (I'm not sure how that will play as Lieberman was as prowar as any Republican. But - it would be a prominent "Democrat previous VP nominee " )

trigger tentative deals that the president and his administration are working on, just to score cheap political points considering he is now receiving intelligence reports.

He'll have notes on his hanky or hand and will read them in a monotone voice. Like that Mormon bishop in the secret temple ceremony.

The baggers are frustrated because Obama is squeaky clean. Proof? They've gotta make shit up about him. The whole Benghazi thing is the pinnacle of bullshit. They've got nothing. And Romney isn't going to say anything we don't already know. If he did, he would have used it already.

He's probably working on some new zingers. Yawn.

This Lizard Romney will demand Earth's allegiance to the Lizard Emperor of Planet Bolok and he will threaten to destroy our planet if we do not surrender.

Obama will calmly approach the Lizard Man from behind, deliver a Heimlich Maneuver, causing a living but slimed Schieffer to be expelled.

As Romney grasps his own throat and makes choking noises, Obama will announce that U.S. Marines have occupied the Planet Bolok and taken the Lizard Emperor hostage.

He will then politely ask Romney if he's still running for President.
