"I stand by what I said, whatever it was."
I absolutely cannot believe Mitt Romney actually said that!
Romney said those immortal words while criticizing planned attack ads linking President Barack Obama with controversial preacher Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
SuperPACs are not under the control of political candidates-- and in fact under threat of law there can be no linkage (wink, wink).
I'd like to think Romney did the right thing (as did Senator John McCain in 2008 when he wouldn't play up Obama's past link with Wright, but a more likely motivation was the realization that it would put his own religious views on the table. Romney is a Mormon, and a high muck-a-muck Mormon at that.
