Trap or not, the dems clearly underestimated the response to this one. Mitt had a chance to knock it out of the park. In one fell swoop, he’d have stood on the side of free speech and the sanctity of the first amendment while intimating (if he’s incapable of shouting) support for traditional marriage, AND proving that there MIGHT be connection (however frail) between himself and flyover country. Instead he’s “playing it safe,” running in place somewhere between home and first waiting to be tagged.
HUGE mistake. Campaign staff needs to be replaced.
It's not his campaign staff. It's Romney himself. Mr. Vanilla has never bucked the liberal tide of political correctness, and has always been missing in action at the front.
If anything needs replacing, it's his jelly spine.
