I was right. From today's Trib:
Meanwhile, we can all rub the sting in our biceps for a moment and wait for the next injection. Because what just came out of the Romney camp - whether the Massachusetts guv and former 2002 Winter Games guru knows it or not - is one big inoculation for the public.
Campaign wonks, or any college kid earning a political science degree, soon learns the concept of "inoculation." A candidate goes on the offense early by naming the biggest problem he or she might face in the campaign. By laying out the worst on the table, long before an opponent or critic grabs the opportunity to do so, the candidate "inoculates" the public against the revelation looking much harsher in the future.
