I disagree that the timing is bad. I also disagree if one thinks there is some kind of nefarious purpose behind it.

THAT issue isn't going to get asked much, IMO, nor is it going to be the one issue that causes a significant portion of moderate Repugs or independents to swing.

I think this script was written in, what, New Hampshire? Yawn.

I was speaking more to the need to have a bit more fire. Jonze's point about Bayh makes sense...
