How long before Romney comes out to correct his statement ??

Where he agreed with Obama that the mandate was not a tax? He said it was a fee or a penalty.

This could be a very big distinction if the Repubs win the Senate. It could determine whether or not it is repealed with a simple majority or the required two-thirds vote.

Of course, if Romney were elected, he would have little problem flipping on this issue, as we well know.

But it was surprising that he came out in agreement that it was not a "tax"...

1. It was Eric Fernstrom (his name is too hard to spell, kay)

Who made the etch a sketch remark as well.

He is a lousy surrogate.

3. I've come to the conclusion that Eric

is secretly working for the Obama Campaign.

4. He keeps this up, he's going to be benched and put on desk duty by August

5. Romney will say it's an unrequired mandate that's a tax penalty or tax fee

If there were 30,000 different interpretations he could give it, he would use them all at the same time.
