Mitt Romney's Top 10 Gaffes
The 2008 presidential campaign is just a few months old, but Republican fundraising leader Mitt Romney has already made a career's worth of memorable media misstatements. Here is a look at his top ten gaffes — so far.

That's not the problem — Romney's strange locution at the South Carolina Republican Debate, "Double Guantanamo," sounds like an order at a Cuban coffee bar, not a policy proposal, and it leaves listeners in the dark as to what the Governor actually favors. A bigger prison? More prisoners? Extra-foam waterboarding?
