ROMNEY: Well, Hugh, my own view is as the Caucuses are a hot spot, and as Russians have shown their willingness to act militarily against a sovereign nation, that the International Olympic Committee ought to revisit locating the Games elsewhere.

Mitt, of course, has it all wrong. We have to use the Olympics in a carrot and stick approach, just like we used to turn China into a civil rights paradise. Forget economic sanctions, we can bring a country to its knees if we threaten to take away their balance beam competitions. [ThinkProgress]
