  1. Mitt says gaffes "will haunt me" if they "hurt the prospects for the success of our effort." on.wsj.com/KEpRSG, ti.me/JrTEU6.
  2. Mitt Romney confirms the fear-of-error described in @Time's cover piece. Compare on.wsj.com/KEpRSG, ti.me/JrTEU6.
  3. Didn't know there was such a thing as "a writ of actual innocence." Good work by U Va law clinic. bgell.me/KfZua2
  4. @ErikWemple And Eric Fehrnstrom ghosts your blog, no doubt. But seriously, thanks for a very nice shout-out.
  5. @ErikWemple Didn't Romney say that last week? " I'm not familiar with precisely what I said, but I stand by what I said -- whatever it was."
  6. @ErikWemple Very nice of you. Which is a little scary. Last we talked, you said, "I'm calling bullshit." Waiting for other shoe to drop. ;-)
  7. Thanks @nancook for ref to this 1st rate @benwallacewells piece on George Romney tinyurl.com/cgv6rn3. Parent week! bgell.me/momney
  8. @blakehounshell Well, I'll take the exception, coming from you. ;-)
  9. And if I may: bgell.me/momney MT @CarlosLozadaWP uh, wapo.st/LjbAfv MT @blakehounshell Problem for journalism: Romney's boring.
  10. @lizzieohreally Thanks for passing word on my @TIME Romney cover yesterday. It's online now at bgell.me/momney
  11. Ok, Romney piece behind @TIME paywall. $30 buys 1 year's web, tablet & print. 58 cents/wk! My story worth a buck, easy. time.com/save
  12. "The purest distillate of Mitt's political education was fear of error." My @TIME cover w/ @elizabethjdias: bgell.me/momney
  13. A panel on clemency tomorrow with a former pardon attorney, Clarence Aaron's mom & @DafnaLinzer at National Press Club famm.org/newsandinforma…
  14. @NickKristof The duct tape goes on the inside, right? Wrap a foot or two around a pencil, take it anywhere.
  15. Senior Democrats join @ACLU, NAACP in calling for Holder to probe @DafnaLinzer's Pardon Attorney expose. About time. bgell.me/JVYR5L
  16. @CrowleyTIME Aw, you say that to all the riveters.
  17. Coming Friday, and online tomorrow, my @TIME Romney cover, "Dreams from His Mother," with @elizabethjdias: ti.me/JRPoy4
