tone-deaf Romney

[JuliefromOhio]

Romney said his father, Michigan Governor George Romney, had told him, "Mitt, never get involved in politics if you have to win an election to pay a mortgage." "If you find yourself in a position when you can serve, why you ought to have a responsibility to do so if you think you can make a difference," he recalled his father telling him. "Also, don't get in politics if your kids are still young because it might turn their heads."

A few seconds later, he bragged about his run against Teddy Kennedy. "I was happy he had to take a mortgage out on his house to ultimately defeat me," he said.

What Mitt did not tell Newt ...

He was happy that Newt had to extend his credit line at TIffany's to keep Callista happy while he pursued the Presidency. (Actually, Mitt could credit his former staffers and wealthy supporters.) :faint:

more tone-deaf Willard Mitt: saying on the stump, "I'm unemployed, too."

or betting $10, 000. at one of the debates.

or telling a lady who'd expressed worries about the middle class, "I'm worried about my investments, too."
