Suppose Romney is the Republican nominee and he launches into the culture wars and the evils of secularism against Obama, the Democratic nominee. Obama remains composed and gives an eloquent statement about the importance of tolerance and the evils of divisive partisanship on issues where we should be bringing the country together instead of ripping it further apart.

I doubt that question can be polled but I think the results could be startling. Attackers can be defused by simply refusing to stoop to their level, and condemning the attacks themselves.

That's the alternative to gutter-level counterpunching. Look at Obama's recent success against Hillary as Exhibit A.
