Is Romney Damaged?
Charleston, South Carolina (CNN) — The cloak of inevitability that Mitt Romney has been wearing — on again, off again — is suddenly and dramatically off again. Just as he seemed poised to wrap up the GOP nomination in South Carolina, Romney has been hit with a triple dose of bad news: Continue reading
