Amusing to see Mitt Uns caught flat-footed on the immigration issue after Obama neatly put him in a box last Friday. Governor Dressage has been running for president since 2007 and he can’t do any better than babble incoherently that he’d listen to Congress and Marco Rubio on a ‘long term solution’  to immigration?  This, among other things, is what is going to defeat Romney — he’s going to have to debate Obama next fall and come up with snappy answers, but rehearsed Mitt tends to come off as harsh, artificial or clueless when he’s in such a forum, even when he sticks to the script.

ThinkProgress’ Josh Israel rounds up seven key issues that Mitt Romney refuses to take a position on:
