MITT ROMNEY

told a cutting Bill Clinton joke that managed to deck Hillary in the same swing.  This is the sort of thing people have been looking for from Romney, and some were beginning to think he was incapable of producing.  The capacity to do such a thing is a huge advantage in a Presidential race -- and in the Presidency itself. Part of the power of Kennedy and Reagan came from this capacity to get away scoring serious points while leaving a grin on everyone's face.  There couldn't have been a more important moment in any of the Republican debates so far.

Asked about running against the tag team of Bill and Hillary, Romney replied that he can't wait to run against them, saying,  "The idea of Bill Clinton back in the White House with nothing to do is something I can't imagine." And then implied the nation wouldn't want to imagine it either.  Watch the video clip here.

I guessing most American's wouldn't.  An important moment for Romney and the 2008 campaign.
