Before you Mittbots throw a fit, this one has some new news in it.
"I'm an English literature major," he insisted at one point. "When we say I saw the Patriots win the World Series, it doesn't necessarily mean you were there."
Who knew?

Depends on what the meaning of “is” is?

I SAW myself voting for someone else, Mittens.
And I still do.

It was a weak response on Mitt’s part. However, everyone is going to have to correct mistakes along the campaign trail, and in the end this won’t hurt him.
He has a knack for smoothing things over rather well.

Haha, that's funny. It ranks up there with John Kerry's Manny Ortiz statement. Yeah, I agree though (He meant the Super Bowl, of course.) as the article says but it is funny.

I saw the Patriots win the World Series That would actually be pretty entertaining. I would like to see the Red Sox in the Super Bowl.

"I'm an English literature major," he insisted at one point. "When we say I saw the Patriots win the World Series, it doesn't necessarily mean you were there."He never saw the Patriots win the WS, because no one has. The Patriots never played in a world series. In fact the never played baseball.

One wonders what Mitt Romney though he was going to gain from this statement assuming it was true let alone it turns out to be his imagination gone wild. Either he was out there winging it or his advisers need to be shook up.

he said, "I 'saw' him in the figurative sense."
Figurative?
That is sort of like the virtual fence Chertoff is constructing along the southern border.
If nothing else, all these wannabes (both parties) are providing loads of entertainment at their foibles.
In 04 all we had was Kerry and Dean. This time, we have nearly a dozen clowns.

I'm not much of a Mitt fan, but this seems very overblown. As Mitt says, many Bostonians would say "I never I'd live to see the day when the Red Sox would win two World Series." That's a perfectly good use of the world and does not necessarily imply literally witnessing the event happening twice in one day.
I also understand that David Broder wrote a book in 1967 which claims that George Romney marched with MLK.
We're in the realm of "proving a negative" here, and the principals are all dead. The essential point is that Mitt comes from a family that has a long history of taking decent stands on civil rights. There's not much need for controversy on this point.

George Romney did attend Martin Luther King Jr.’s funeral in Atlanta along with Nixon, RFK and 50,000 other people. The mourners walked behind a mule-drawn wagon bearing King’s casket forming a huge procession. If Mitt was there, watching on TV, or saw a newsreel of the event, then he saw his father accompany King on his “last march.”

"I 'saw' him in the figurative sense." This morning, while showering; I 'saw' Jill St John giving me a Lewinsky.

A la the other flipper, Jon Kerry’s “Manny Ortiz”.
Clueless. Not popular, as in not of the people.

I wish you and the others hadn't posted these. Now the Ron-Paul-takes-photos-with-Nazis-because-he's-Dr.-Mengele thread got pushed down.
I suppose I can't ask all of you to keep these articles out of Front Page. Well, maybe I can request the mods to put that other thread in Breaking News for the next few weeks.
Mitt bump. George Romney was a decent man, an early civil rights supporter, and even more remarkable considering the official position of his church in the early Sixties on certain race issues. He was way out in front in leading on this. Mitt is right to admire him, as a man and as a leader.

Did anyone ever challenge Clinton when he said he saw church burnings in Arkansas while he was a child? Research showed there were no church burnings there at that time.

Romney had to correct an earlier statement that he had himself "gotten tough on methamphetamine" By the way, are we SURE he was an English Lit major? Better check on that too.
Besides, don't you get tough on PCP, not meth? You get hasty on meth. QED:
"I'm making sure that that's correct as quickly as I possibly can," he said.
Just joshin, Mitters.
