Sympathy today for the adviser(s) at Romney HQ in Boston who thought the foreign trip was a bad idea to begin with because anything that takes the attention off the economy is a miscalculation. If I were in the same office with them, I might quietly hide sharp objects, bound briefing books, and anything else that could be used as a weapon.
