Question of sons’ choices dogs Romney camp
Like a pup strapped onto the roof of a moving car

Voters have bone to pick with Romney's 'awkward' remark about spawn’s non-military service --

[Multiple Choice Mitt's comment that his sons "are showing support for our nation by helping to get me elected"] has injected a discordant note into his campaign.

It has also threatened to put a chink in what has been widely viewed as a major asset in his bid for the Republican presidential nomination: his crowded family portrait, which includes five successful adult sons who have been a prominent part of his campaign.

The fact that none have served in the armed forces is a potentially sensitive point, given how badly stretched the nation’s military has become with the conflict in Iraq and the nearly unanimous support for the war on the part of the Republican candidates.
