“Instead the video exposes an authentic Romney as a far more sinister character than I had imagined. Here is the sneering plutocrat, fully in thrall to a series of pernicious myths that are at the heart of the mania that has seized his party. He believes that market incomes in the United States are a perfect reflection of merit. Far from seeing his own privileged upbringing as the private-school educated son of an auto executive-turned-governor as an obvious refutation of that belief, Romney cites his own life, preposterously, as a confirmation of it.”

In light of what has felled all the other GOP candidates, it was only a matter of time that something of this nature would happen to Romney.
Unsurprisingly, and characteristically, his own mouth is the smoking gun.
Maybe now some of the other more highly eligible candidates running for POTUS will be allowed to share the debate stage with Obama.
