GOP campaign gaffes of the day

The latest crop of GOP campaign gaffes remind me of the scene in Towering Inferno when some of the panicked people trapped on the top floor rush the "breeches buoy" to save their skins [didn't go so well].

Romney (Never more than 21%) appeared to have dropped off the face of the earth until this morning's Globe story that he and his staff had deleted emails before he left the Massachusetts governor's office to campaign for President in breach of a State law requiring records to be preserved.

Perry has also opined that Obama, 'Never Had To Work For Anything'. [Because we all know that single mothers living off of food stamps are so 1%]
