"Mitt, be nimble"

I just read a well-written op/ed (here) about Mitt Romney from Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby.

While asserting that Romney's campaign is setting new marks at innovation and "agility," Jacoby points to Romney's on-line, rapid response to the recent, unflattering you-tube posting about his 1994 run for senate as a Liberal (my post on it). While I'm impressed with the speed and sophistication with which Romney's campaign responded, I think it is silly to assert that the 1994 footage was neutralized or even "rebutted." As a result, I'd say that to any given observer, the "impressiveness" of the response video is inversely related to the "impressiveness" of the original unflattering video.
