Video note! After some debate, here's the re-posting of Thursday's intense exchange with Gov Mitt Romney. A technical note... All of the in-studio presidential interviews are video taped for later webcasting. Normally, as in this case, they are shot with two fixed cameras by the webcaster. He and the cameras are highly visible. The cameras are mounted on tripods just a few feet from the guest and host. Most of the time the interviews are mixed down for time and composition, as in the recent Senator John McCain interview. In this case the complete one camera feed was posted so no later issues of "editing" could be raised. ( and because Mickelson looks crappy on camera... ed. note)

Jay,
Could you share with us the back story on how this video became public? Did Romney know he was being video taped? The whole thing smacks of unfair treatment of your guest. I'm not referring to your "hard" questioning of Romney. I'm referring to videoing someone when they are unaware and broadcasting what was supposed to be a private conversation -- off the record -- between you and your guest. That may be standard procedure in Iowa, but it's considered underhanded at best in other parts of the country. If that's NOT what happened, if Romney knew his comments were being recorded for broadcast (or he gave his permission for their broadcast after the fact), we should know that. If it is what happened, if you violated your guest's trust, we should know that, too.
By the way, I don't think Romney came off poorly in the exchange. It's the surreptitious nature of the recording that's distasteful.

Jan,
Please forgive my typo! I know your name and don't know how "Jan" became "Jay" in my post, above.
