“My father and I marched with Martin Luther King Jr. through the streets of Detroit.”

...ooops no we didn’t. I meant figuratively.

“Steve King endorsed me. Its exciting.”

...oops no he didnt ..well we thought he did until he didn’t.

“NRA endorsed me while running for governor.”

....oops no they didn’t. well kinda it was an NRA poll which is kinda like getting it.

WAIT...I need to talk to my attorneys I think.

How many strikes does one get? Do you honestly think the Dems will give him a pass for these?

Can you provide a link where Romney said that he and his father marched with MLK through the streets of Detroit?

Your second and third things never happened. Yes, it appears Romney was hoping King would endorse him. And in fact, if you look at King’s endorsement speech, it really looks like it was written as an endorsement of Romney, as it doesn’t mention him and it attacks Fred Thompson, and even the last paragraph which would have been re-written to change the endorsement to Thompson wasn’t all that kind to Fred Thompson.

But Romney never said he had King’s endorsement.

And he never said the NRA endorsed him. He said they supported him, which apparently was true, if the report that a local chapter of the NRA ran a phone bank for him is correct. He also said the endorsed his actions as governor, which is true since they endorsed his work on the AWB ban.

OK, so the posthumous endorsement by Martin Luther King, Jr., didn't pan out, or the (non-posthumous) one by Steve King.

There's still Larry King to try, or Billie Jean King, or Rodney King.
