I'd just call
him Willard:
If you disagree with both Mark Steyn and Kevin Williamson about something, you don’t have a terribly realistic chance of being in the right, but I’ll take my chances on this one. As Katrina reports, President Obama has taken to using “Mr. Romney” instead of the more appropriate “Governor Romney.” Mark and Kevin think that’s just fine. I think it’s sadly undignified on the president’s part.

First. There really
are lots of things that are sadly undignified in the world. Newt Gingrich is a good example of one. But
calling Romney, Mr. Romney is not one of them. Personally I prefer using
Romney's given name: Willard.
Second,
there is an above average chance that you won't be wrong if you disagree with
NRO-bots Mark Steyn and Kevin Williamson.
It is kinda like the
Whelan Constitutionality Principle where you have a gray area of unsettled
constitutional law. First step is to determine NRO Legal Commentator Big Ed
Whelan's position on the subject. The
next step is to flip a coin and choose one of the remaining feasible alternate positions on the
subject. Your choice may ultimately be
incorrect, but your chances of being correct are higher than Big Ed's chances.
