Romney’s Freudian Slips and Fluctuations in the Force
For all his faults, Freud did nail down "slips of the tongue" as a significant phenomena that is rarely, if ever, random. So when Romney's unconscious tells us that he is here to bring people together to "serve" problems, not to "solve" them, we should pay attention.
