From Up With Chris Hayes yesterday:
They're talking about what a party platform is, and what it should be, and what the candidate's obligations end up being regarding the various interest groups and constituencies that have to come together to hammer out the platform; which is the same weird mixture of sometimes competing groups of voters (ie Donors) you have to put together when you run for the only National Office there is.

Didja hear it, Wingnuts? Did you hear it, Independents?
Romney's gambling that he'll pick up enough Indies to offset the votes he's losing on the far right.
