Legal or not, ...it has an impact on how people feel about him.
It's legal to toss a widow granny out in the street with her 7 grandchildren all under 5, ...in the middle of winter. However, if you have done so, ...and are running for POTUS, do you really think it will not have an impact on how voters perceive you?
If your actions are legal, ...you should have no problem with them facing the light of scrutiny.
Who says Romney has a problem with that? Remember all the hoopla about Gloria Allred's BIIIIIIIIIIG October surprise?
Romney basically told her to knock herself out. In the end, it was much ado about nothing; and this is no different.
Desperate times for desperate libs, who see that sickle getting ever so close to Obama's neck.
