2008 Presidential Election Blog: Romney slip

Romney slip

Mitt Romney on C-Span around 6:10pm Friday was asked about how his family was dealing with his running for president.

He said that they understood that you loose your privacy when you run.

He then said that they were all focused on the "mission, excuse me, on the message" that they are trying to get across.

In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a "mission" is the administrative unit to which Mormon missionaries are assigned. It's an interesting malapropism from Romney.
