Romney Compares Craig to Bill Clinton
Posted by: Matt Lewis at 3:07 PM
According to First Read:

In his interview on CNBC's Kudlow & Company (which will air later this afternoon), Mitt Romney had some sharp words for Sen. Larry Craig, who had endorsed the former Massachusetts governor's presidential campaign and was his Idaho chairman. "Once again, we've found people in Washington have not lived up to the level of respect and dignity that we would expect for somebody that gets elected to a position of high influence. Very disappointing. He's no longer associated with my campaign, as you can imagine... I'm sorry to see that he has fallen short."

"a connection between the two" doesn't mean much. There's no connection that makes Romney responsible for Craig's moral failings.

All I asked if it would hurt his chances.

Seems to me you were arguing it would and should. Because there's a "connection" between the two. And Romney and his team should have known Craig was a mens room cruising homo ... if they didn't.
