At his townhall meeting in Derry, New Hampshire this morning, in the context of spinning the Iowa results as an overall call for change in Washington, Mitt Romney explained that’s why Barack Obama “trounced” Hillary Clinton.
Then he declared, “We cannot afford Barack Obama as the next president.”
Virtually nobody applauded–and this was a Republican audience. It doesn’t quite have the same sting as, “we cannot afford Hillary Clinton.”
