willard cannot, will not, and is incapable of answering any straight-out question on policies, core values, diplomatic or economic issues...he is a bought and paid for cardboard cut-out who hasn't a rational and consistent thought about anything...my father, rest his soul, had hydrocephalus, a condition that made it impossible for him to retain a thought for more than 10 minutes...without a surgical procedure, I believe willard would suffer from this condition as POTUS...not what American needs!

Obama also finds friendly turf on most if not all these shows with hosts that support him. Mitt would find them to be hostile. Not asking about his stance, but politely attacking him with Democratic retoric.

It is not that we Mormons feel we are better than anyone else, but most Mormon males over the age of 12 hold a Priesthood of some level or another. Would you want your Pastor or Priest sitting around 'hob nobbing' with TV personalities who find vulgarity humorous? Mitt holds a Priesthood and has certain responsibilities to that Priesthood.

Mitt Romney doesn't want to appear as a "celebrity president". This helps separate himself from our current president.

Mr. Romney has some class. I think it is beneath the dignity of the United States President to go on a talk show. He is a show boat! Mr. Romney isn't.

While I think Gov Romney has more class than Pres Obama who seems to think he is a superstar worthy of Hollywood adoration, I believe not going on any Talk Shows may not be helpful to his campaign. He should appear on a couple to give his point of view and show he is a man of the people, can be conversational and laugh a little even at his own expense thus humanizing him. We have enough arrogance from our man at the top already; Romney needs to be careful not to appear pompous by his absence.
