Tim Russert: Governor Romney, you are a big fan of Ronald Reagan.Video via NewsRadio 1290 WJNO, where it's noted that what "makes this whisper even more bizarre is the fact the MSNBC's political blog had a post about it immediately afterward. You can see a screen grab of that post here. They have since removed this particular entry. Odd."
Willard Romney: Mm-hmm.
Russert: Will you do for Social Security what Ronald Reagan did in 1983?
[whisper] raise taxes
Romney: I'm not going to raise taxes. What I'm going to do…
Russert: Ronald Reagan raised payroll tax and he also raised the retirement age and he saved Social Security…
My guess is that it was one of the other candidates whispering on a hot mic. Either that, or it was the angel Moroni, who hasn't had much else to do since the 1820s.
