By now you've surely all seen Romney's latest gaffe. If I were Romney, I'd like firing people, too. He's made a lot of money doing it. Of course, people are taking his quote out of context but even a generous reading of this shows Romney to be awfully out of touch.
Even so, is there enough time in the nomination calendar for Romney's foot-in-mouth disease to derail him? It will be interesting to see how things go down in New Hampshire today. Nate's latest projections have Romney winning by a good margin but his projected percentage has slipped into the 30s. I, for one, hope that he slips down into the mid-30s with Santorum and Gingrich showing strong enough to press on to SC and FL.
In any case, I guess the most important question is: should we as Obama backers hope that Romney wins and saves a couple of prime gaffes for the general?

I think he'll get the nomination, but I hope this drags on a bit first. Romney's gaffes would get next to no play if it was just the DNC highlighting them, but when his own party goes after him, well that's news.
