Romney campaign defends omission of war talk
WASHINGTON – Mitt Romney's campaign is defending the Republican presidential nominee's decision to make no mention of the politically unpopular 11-year-old war in Afghanistan in his speech last week at the GOP national convention.
Romney was the first Republican since 1952 to accept his party's nomination without mentioning war.
Senior campaign adviser Eric Fehrnstrom told CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday the closely watched national speech was a "home run."
