In response to Limbaugh's comments, Romney has said "it’s not the language I would have used." Of the Republicans who actually criticized the conservative talking head, Romney's response was among the more timid. And on the call, Axelrod pounced.

If Romney couldn't stand up to "the most strident voices in your party how can he stand up to Ahmadinejad?" Axelrod asked. "How are you going to stand up to the challenges of the presidency? These are tests. Presidential campaigns are tests. You are tested every single days in different ways. The Limbaugh thing was a test of leadership, and you have them all the time, and Mitt Romney has failed those tests in the campaign."

The Ahmadinejad line, at this point, has almost become a parody, owing to its flagrant overuse by conservatives trying to brand Democrats as weak-kneed. But saying that Romney is afraid of crossing Limbaugh could be effective, at least when it comes to appealing to women voters offended by the host's most recent rant.
