Of course he made a bad PR move. But, I am starting to suspect he is doing all this on purpose. The worse he gets the angrier we get the angrier we get the louder and more obnoxious his supporters get. Because, apparently the more evil and crazy a Republican is the more tea baggers, conservatives, and other Republicans worship them. This is the base Mitt Romney is playing to, people who would eat at Chic-fail-A even if they knew that company supports execution of gay people in Uganda. He is playing to a base that supports lower taxes for rich people even if it means they pay more in taxes. He is playing to a base that thinks that 10 cents a day(or less) is too much to pay so that someone else doesn't have to starve to death. He is playing to a base that thinks rich people are smarter and work harder and thus deserve to be rich. Another words it doesn't matter how evil Mitt Romney proves to be, at least 40% of voters will vote for him.

For a presidential campaign? Wow. This should scare the hell out of every republican out there. Your presumptive nominee had to hire someone who makes a living sanitizing FUBARs for the media. Her hiring alone should cost him the nomination.
