<p>Mitt Romney …On Bob Dole …Romney claims Dole is “probably the last person” he would want to write a letter on his behalf. </p>
<p>John McCain on Romneys comment about Dole .
I think Gov. Romney should apologize to Bob Dole for his statement. . . this is no way to end up this campaign by attacking a genuine American war hero." </p>
<p>Mitt Romney is SO negative–the swipe at Bob Dole was uncalled for. But his first instinct is to lash out. </p>
<p>I saw Dole on The Colbert Report (where I get much of my news, along with the Daily Show) and he was quite gracious (quite surprising since Dole was also the kind of guy to lash out). His point was that his letter was trying to correct certain ideas of what the media was saying about John McCain, but he also went on to write about where he and McCain’s policies differ. </p>
<p>No. It was just a spin on what was said. It had nothing to do with being a “War Hero”. (God I wish McCain would give that a rest. I spent 20 years in the military and don’t throw the military card around).</p>
<p>What Romney was talking about was Dole’s numerous attempts at running for president. He could never gain the confidence of his party. Therefor, not such a good endorser that people will put much credence in. That’s like Hillary getting Al Gore’s endorsement. “Oh yea, she’s really seeking that”. Romney had not disrespect or reference to Dole and his military record.</p>
