FUBAR at the Romney endorsement

The Romney campaign had it all scripted. A very public endorsement by Sen. Judd Gregg and then a photo op filing of the paperwork for the NH primary. Just one little mistake....

Gregg, New Hampshire’s senior senator, announced his endorsement after a heart-stopping goof. “If someone had said I’d endorse a Democrat….” Gregg said, stopping abruptly as a crowd of 100 to 150 Romney supporters groaned and/or laughed. “If somebody had said I was going to be endorsing a Democrat, they’d be absolutely wrong,” he continued.

“If someone had also said I’d endorse a former governor of Massachusetts for president of the United States, I’d say well, I didn’t think the Red Sox would win the World Series twice in my lifetime either,” he said.

Oops.
