Poor Mitt. He just can't seem to catch a break. I guess his handlers need to keep him on a shorter leash - away from "those" people.

Romney approached Bob Garon, a gay man seated with his husband at the Chez Vachon restaurant, taking note of the man's Vietnam Veteran hat.
"Vietnam veteran!" Romney said, taking a seat at the couple's booth, according to the Washington Post.
Garon, a self-avowed independent voter, quickly launched into a question about New Hampshire's gay marriage law, asking Romney if he supported recent stirrings by GOP presidential candidates about repealing the legislation, which allows same-sex couples to get married.
"I support the repeal of the New Hampshire law," Romney responded. "I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. That's my view."
"It's good to know how you feel, that you do not believe everyone is entitled to their constitutional rights," Garon shot back.
"No, actually, I think at the time the Constitution was written it was pretty clear that marriage is between a man and a woman," Romney replied. "And I don't believe the Supreme Court has changed that."
The Associated Press reports on the end of the testy back-and-forth:
An aide tried to remove Romney from the situation, claiming the candidate had another interview with Fox News Channel.
"Oh, I guess the question was too hot," Garon said. Before getting up to leave the booth, Romney said he had given Garon a yes or no answer.
"I was undecided," Garon said. But now "I'm totally convinced today that he's not going to be my president -- at least in my book. At least Obama will entertain the idea. This man is 'no way, Jose.' Well, take that 'no way, Jose' back to Massachusetts."
"The guy ain't going to make it," he told reporters later. "You can't trust him. I can see it in his eyes."
