Maybe Romney just got his facts wrong, but still, this was a major “Whoops!” moment.

The primary is March 3. Petitions have to be in 90 days prior to that date.

Mitt, welcome to being a front-runner. Its called wack-a-mole. First Rudy, then Huck, now you. Looks like McCain is next.

The MLK fact the media won’t ever mention is that he was a Republican.

Let's not get too heavy on Romney.
Maybe it is a simple misspelling.

That's the ticket.
Romney saw his dad marching with milk.

Nope, just more Joe Isuzu Romney bull$hit. He’s aping Gore with Civil Rights, pretending Big Daddy was the big hero. Of course, Gore Sr’s idea of heroic was filibustering the ‘64 CRA to prove to the TN racist Democrat voters that he was keeping those “darkeys” in their place.

The Mitt-haters think that if they carry the Hillary’s water by pre-trashing our most likely nominee, it will make up for Fred’s failure to run a competent campaign or Duncan’s total lack of viability. I keep telling them I would vote for Fred, but his organization failed to get him on the ballot in Delaware.

Thompson is going nowhere. He looks like he can barely get out of bed in the morning. Duncan Hunter is a non-entity who barely registers in the polls. Yesterday’s hero, Tom Tancredo, has withdrawn and endorsed Mitt. Now he’s been bought off or is suddenly a liberal? Has FR jumped the shark?

"Thompson is going nowhere."

More media and establishment liberal bull$hit.

"Yesterday’s hero, Tom Tancredo, has withdrawn and endorsed Mitt. Now he’s been bought off or is suddenly a liberal?"

A Judas.

"Has FR jumped the shark?"

Nope, we're still Conservative. Some of us know how to resist being bought off and selling out our country to the enemy.

Okay, as a 16 year-old, Mitt remembers his father marching for civil rights in support of MLK.

Even if George Romney and MLK never linked arms together to march, Mitt’s memory is correct in its essentials. His father did take an active public stand for civil rights.

Those claiming that his recalled memory is some egregious lie have gone too far.

I think this was an MSM hit that the Mitt/Mormon haters picked up.

I also saw on a blog Mitt's brother said his father told him back in the 60's that he marched with King. If my dad tells me that I'm not gonna research the archives of the Detroit Freakin Press to try to verify it.

Except the Romney campaign effectively answered this BS gotcha crap first attempted by that well known boy-lover Andrew Sullivan. At least stick to worthy criticisms.

My dad helped sabotage German supply trains while he was boy living in Nazi occupied Denmark. Any way I can prove it? Probably not, but that doesn’t make it any less true.

The burden of proof here IMHO is with anyone claiming his dad DIDN’T march with King.

I’d be careful gay-bashing, after all, your boy Joe Isuzu Romney was the preeminent champion of gay marriage.

Truth to a Mittwitt is like a cross to Dracula. You keep screaming like stuck pigs and we’ll keep on exposing your boy’s FRAUD.

The biggest catch so far in the GOP campaign has been the National Right to Life Commitee’s endorsement of Fred Thompson. While Tom Tancredo is a staunch conservative, he dishonored himself by endorsing the liberal Romney. Besides, Tancredo’s >1% won’t have any effect on the race.
