“Actually, just look at what Osam — uh — Barack Obama, said just yesterday. Barack Obama calling on radicals, jihadists of all different types, to come together in Iraq. That is the battlefield. That is the central place, he said. Come join us under one banner.”

One thing about Mitt, is that he is too damn smart to make an innocent mistake like that.
If those words were uttered by Dubya, that would be another matter, but I don't believe it for a second, coming from Mitt.

i imagine creating use of detrimental grammar, sentence structure and slur words is a coach of lack of appreciate for the different persons opinion. they attempt to belittle the different part even as in truth, they're belittling their own opinion.

He was probably just quoting Ted Kennedy who did the exact same thing months ago when introducing Obama.

Obama is dropping so fast in the polls that he surely will welcome the mention. With the type of campaign stops the contenders in both major parties have to go through, it is remarkable that more rhetorical stumbles don't occur.

I think it was a gaffe. Considering the stumping schedules these candidates are keeping (with the exception of "Easy-Does-It" Fred Thompson), they've got to be running low on sleep. I'd give them some slack.

Innocent? I don't think so. He's clearly a Dan Quayle clone. He just reads what they tell him to read.

Morm... I mean Mitt has right wing religious agendas and can't be trusted in a democratic society. Please don't take him as a serious candidate.

It could be either. Do you think he's witty enough to do that or do you think he's stupid enough to actually confuse the two?
