QUOTE OF THE DAY

President Obama's chief strategist David Axelrod speaking about Mitt Romney's failure to condemn conservative talk radio show host Rush Limbaugh:

"If you don't have the strength to stand up to the most strident voices in your party, how will you stand up to [Iranian President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad?"



Q&A DISCUSSIONS

Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson was online at 1 p.m. ET to discuss Super Tuesday results:

Q: Romney has been criticized for his tepid response to Limbaugh's comments about Ms. Fluke, with some commentators claiming that had he taken a more forceful stand, he'd be doing better with women in the polls, and, by extension, would have had a better showing yesterday, his wins notwithstanding. What's your take on that?

Eugene Robinson:

I think the bigger potential impact will come in the fall. I believe Santorum's moralizing, all the talk about contraception, and the candidates' tepid response to Limbaugh have conspired to potentially drive independent women voters away from the GOP. That would mean real trouble.
