“I am sorry to have offended you, sir. I misspoke and deeply regret it. We thank you for your son’s service to this country, and wish him a safe and speedy return. Once again, I do apologize for my thoughtless remark.”

I agree with you. His remark comparing his sons work on his campaign to military service was certainly a misstep and a more contrite answer to the deputy's question may have helped put this to bed. Having said that, it was also somewhat dishonest for the deputy to ambush Mitt by finishing his rather lame question with a personal attack. It almost seemed scripted. Carl Cameron denied any knowledge that this was going to happen and I guess we'll just have to take his word on it.

I have to disagree. I think the deputy asked his question, but in the end, felt that he had to say something about the Romney sons’ “service”. The guy had a one-time chance and he took it. If I had one chance to speak to Hillary, I would take it, too.

It really was an insulting remark for military families as far I am concerned, and the real rub is that Mitt absolutely believes it. He got so much airtime for that, and none of it was good. Overall, Mitt and Rudy pretty much got all the coverage.
