Mitt Romney may have met his match yesterday.
A 15-year old student named Kevin Daly from Phillips Exeter pressed the Republican presidential candidate on his gay rights flip-flop.
"How can any of your campaign promises be trusted?" Daly asked.Romney suggested the 15-year-old from Weston, Mass., had falsely stated that he favored gay marriage in 1994.
Around and around the two went, with Daly referring to a New York Times report about the gay rights pledge. The second time through, he mistakenly said the story detailed a "gay marriage" pledge.
That was enough for Romney.
"Even The New York Times hasn't said I'll be stronger on gay marriage than Ted Kennedy, even The New York Times," Romney said. "I've never been an advocate of gay marriage."
Ah, yes, pull out the old Kennedy card. Too bad Teddy isn't running for president, putz.

Kudos to that young man from an Ivy feeder in MA. Yes, it is the same legacy feeder that the POTUS and his father, grandfather, etc..attended before going to Yale.
I am so pleased that Romney's hypocrisy and flip flops are obvious to an adolescent and that he was put in his place by that intelligent young man.
Whether he is psychosexually gay or straight is immaterial. That he believes in equal rights in the only state where it is possible does matter.
Too bad he's not old enough to vote.
