A look at today's most talked about stories
Romney's "47 percent" comment continues to dog him and it is all hands on deck over at Fox News in terms of crisis management. Last night, Jon Stewart took a look at how Faux News is trying to spin the chaos. Meanwhile Romney continues to make unpleasant comments. Today at a rally, he stated that if he had gay grandchildren he would want them to be happy but not married. How kind of him.
