In truth, the phrase does not belong to free Cubans. It has been the trademark speechmaking sign-off of their most despised opponent,
Fidel Castro. And unlike Romney, Castro would switch to English to declare, "Fatherland or death, we shall overcome."

The mistake pointed up Romney's newness to the scene and the freshness of some of his positions.

"No human being can ever know every nuance to every issue. And the steeper the learning curve, the more likely you are to see inadvertent errors," said Dan Schnur, a Republican communications consultant in California. He worked for Pete Wilson's 1996 presidential campaign and Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record)'s 2000 presidential campaign, but is not involved in the 2008 race

Now....if I were a hypocrite. Which I'm not. I'd say this either means that Romney is a communist or would say that it shows how much this error resembles that of George Bush not knowing what a Shiite and Sunni are before we invaded Iraq however I'll just see this for what it is. A mistake by somebody who apparently forgot to do their homework before they spoke.
