115. love that movie

I hope tcm plays it again soon. I think Romney jumped the gun with his statement. If he would have waited a couple of hours it would not have been so extraordinary. I doubt we'll ever find out what happened but it'll be interesting to see how the likes of Cantor behave going forward. I don't see how any thinking person could come to any other conclusion then something was afoot. The insistence that this is no more then a sex scandal appears to be working.
