Remember when Romney said in his big religion speech that he "saw my father march with Martin Luther King"? Well -- maybe not exactly. "He was speaking figuratively, not literally," Eric Fehrnstrom, a Romney spokesman, told the Detroit Free Press' Todd Spangler. The campaign cites books and other accounts to demonstrate that George Romney did march with King, but "Free Press archives . . . showed no record of King marching in Grosse Pointe in 1963 or of then-Gov. Romney taking part in King's historic march down Woodward Avenue in June of that year." This comes after the Boston Phoenix's David Bernstein cast doubt on whether they ever marched together: "A spokesperson for Mitt Romney now tells the Boston Phoenix that George W. Romney and Martin Luther King Jr. marched together in June, 1963 -- although possibly not on the same day or in the same city."
