Romney as Commander-in-Chief

Jonah Goldberg was spot on with his strategy outline for Romney with his pre-debate post: 
…But the voters Romney needs don’t much care about winning the argument over Libya or the the war on terror generally. They want to hear (or, rather, Romney needs them to hear) why they shouldn’t be worried about Romney being commander-in-chief.
That kind of reassurance comes from seeming reasonable above all else. The price for that may be to say “I agree with President Obama” more than I would like and framing things in such a way that Obama is the one who’s forced to seem un-reassuring.
That's exactly what he did, and it should be a winning strategy. Read Jonah's entire (NRO) post here:
