TPM's condensed version of Romney's interview



He was irritated by the interview after we were done ... he said he thought it was overly aggressive as we were walking in the walk-and-talk, and then after we finished he went to his holding room and then came back and said he didn't like the interview and thought it was uncalled for.

Fox's Brett Baier, appearing on The O'Reilly Factor, talks about Mitt Romney's thin-skinned reaction to his interview on Tuesday night:

It's astonishing that Romney said that interview was "uncalled for." Baier didn't really ask him any tough questions. If you read the transcript you won't find a single question that Romney shouldn't have easily handled, yet he still botched the interview, cracking under the pressure of a feather. I don't know how to explain it. Maybe he's been looking at internal polling and he sees his dream slipping away. But that doesn't excuse his performance in the interview. If you're a Republican and can't handle Fox ... how are you going to handle President Obama?
