After explaining that none of his five adult sons had enlisted for military service because "One of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping me get elected because they think I'd be a great president," Mitt Romney now claims that he misspoke.
Mitt Romney, who won the Iowa Republican straw poll yesterday, said he ``misspoke'' when he suggested that his sons' work on his presidential campaign was comparable to serving in the military in Iraq.
"I misspoke,'' the former Massachusetts governor said today on Fox News Sunday. "It's not service to the country, it's service for me, and there's just no comparison there.''
Romney said today that he "didn't mean in any way to compare service in the country with my boys in any way. Service in this country is an extraordinary sacrifice being made by individuals and their families."
Governor, we heard you the first time.
