Report: Mitt Romney Hasn’t Answered A Question From A Voter In Three Weeks
Is Mitt Romney running out the clock on the Republican nomination? According to Washington Post reporter Philip Rucker, Republican frontrunner has stopped taking questions from voters on the campaign trail. In fact, he hasn’t answered a question from a voter in three weeks.

According to Rucker’s reporting:
The last time Romney took audience questions, Jan. 13 in Hilton Head, S.C., he got two off-the-wall ones. A girl doing a science project on germs wanted to know how many hands he shakes and how often he washes his hands. (He said he washes regularly and uses Purell sanitizer, too, “just to make sure.”) And an older woman asked whether he believes in “the divine saving grace of Jesus Christ.” (He said he did.)
Romney has eschewed town hall meetings with unpredictable questions for 15-minute stump speeches. Only time will tell if this strategy will pay off for the former Massachusetts governor.
So if Romney hasn’t been holding voter meet-and-greets, what has he been doing with all his time over the last 24 days?
