Yep. Even Romney (big weasel that he is) should've been able to knock that question out of the park. There are two possiblities: 1. He doesn't know enough about the scandal to risk an answer; or 2. He agrees with the goals of the Gunwalker operation.
Totally unacceptable, either way.
Remember, Romney was acceptable to the same electorate that put (and kept) Jean Kerrie and The Swimmer in the Senate.
