Voters head to polls in SC as Mitt Romney belittles Gingrich and does his own laundry

COLUMBIA, S.C. – Voters battled rainstorms and tornado warnings as they streamed to the polls here today, capping a tumultuous and at times politically dizzying week of events that, by tonight, could potentially reshape the Republican presidential nomination process once more.

Extending a more aggressive phase of his campaign, Mitt Romney today renewed attacks on Newt Gingrich, calling on the former House speaker to release records related to his role consulting Freddie Mac, the quasi-public lending agency that many blame for accelerating the housing crisis.

“I’d like to see what he actually told Freddie Mac,” Romney told reporters after visiting his campaign headquarters. “Don’t ya think we ought to see it? This is a big issue. We’ve got a Washington insider talking about Freddie Mac, let’s see what his report was to Freddie Mac, what he said to them, what advice he gave them.”

His campaign sent out a press release – “Happy 15th Anniversary, Mr. Speaker” – to draw attention to the day 15 years ago when Gingrich was reprimanded by the House for ethical wrongdoing.

Yet while Romney was happy to criticize Gingrich to reporters, he avoided any face-to-face interaction with his rival......

Romney, in a week in which his opponents criticized him for being out of touch, showcased that he was doing one of the most humble chores, washing his own clothes. His son, Tagg, sent out a photo on Twitter of Romney dumping Tide into a washing machine. Ann Romney, dressed casually in a sweatshirt, removed clothes from the next machine......................

And Newt was working the Chik-fil-A drive through today. Lets quit being silly and focus on issues. Both are just trying to connect with the common man/woman.

Mormon garments can (and should) be washed, although most LDS I know wash them completely separate from other clothes but I don’t think it matters.

To dispose of them, the sacred symbols are to be cut out and burned and the rest can be tossed, however some burn the whole things.

Binger, however, uses his as car rags.

That is exactly what he was doing - those peons do their own wash, I’ll show them I’m just like them. Next we will see him mowing a lawn and eating a peanut and jelly sandwich.

I hope Gingrich cleans Romney’s over-wound clock but good.

Without seeing the exact color or smelling it, I would guess alfalfa or bermuda. It looks very much like my bermuda hay, but I don’t know exactly where the photo was taken, which would also clue one in as to what kind of hay it is.

Anybody else have an automatic paper towel dispenser in their laundry room?

Or just Mittens?

...Worse.....and I didn’t think that was possible. Funny they’re both Mass liberals trying to show they are what they are not. Kerry too. What is it with the Mass folks?

there’s no way I would be doing my own laundry.

He isn't either - It's a 'barry walks the dog' moment.
