Last night, on Special Report, I urged Mitt Romney to step up and address President Obama’s failure to explain what decisions he made and didn’t make on the evening of September 11, as Americans fought terrorists in Benghazi. This afternoon it seems that Romney, not having mentioned Benghazi in his speeches today, has decided to ignore my entreaty. And so I’ve received a bunch of inquiries—from friends, allies, and journalists—asking how worried, distressed, even disconsolate I am.

I’m fine. And I suspect Romney will be, too. The Romney campaign believed that to address Benghazi at the end of the race, after a couple of weeks of silence, would have been taken by the media—and perhaps by some voters—as desperate. They may have been right. In any case, now, on Saturday afternoon, it probably really is too late.
