“There are no secrets. We’ll win Ohio,” said Romney’s top strategist Stuart Stevens. And what if they don’t win Ohio? “It’s a silly question … we’re going to win Ohio,” he said. “This is like conscientious objection: if you’re going over the cliff and you have to throw your mother, or your sister, or your father out, which one would you? We’ll win Ohio.”

Stevens, no need to elaborate! We’ve ALL played the classic parlor game where we envision our family driving off a cliff and pushing one of them out will save the rest of you somehow. No need to explain it with all those words! We got it at “conscientious objection”, which everyone knows is the shorthand term for that riddle, and not a completely unrelated concept.
Bonus points for characterizing your own campaign as a car driving off a cliff.
