Tagg Romney

Tuesday's second presidential debate was a clash of finger-pointing, interruptions etc.Eldest son of Romney had an especially visceral reaction. Tagg Romney said his instinct was to “jump out of your seat” and “rush down to the debate stage and take a swing’’ at President Obama.
He answered that when a North Carolina radio host, asked him how it felt to hear the president “call your dad a liar.’’
Tagg Romney quickly indicated he wasn’t speaking literally about striking the president.
“You know you can’t do that,’’ he continued, “because, well, first because there’s a lot of Secret Service between you and him, but also because this is the nature of the process. You know, they’re going to do everything they can do to try to make my dad into someone he’s not. We signed up for it. We’ve got to, kind of sit there and take our punches and then send them right back the other way.’’
The younger Romney’s remarks were indicative of how fiercely the campaign is being fought in its closing weeks. Although Tagg Romney, 42, the eldest of the five Romney sons, was reported to have assumed a prominent role in the campaign, even taking part in a family “intervention,” the picture he painted was of a far less significant player.
