and pushes it away. i know it is unusual and he doesn't have to like it but the Guy is a supporter and was trying to help. others would have went along and maybe bent down their heads or something or made some joke about themselves being sweaty.

Bounds of reason! He should have just offered the napkins to him. I would not have liked a stranger wiping all over my face either. I might not have made a fuss over him wiping my brow but once he's all over the face and then going back for more we start having a problem. Presidential candidates have to deal with weird things that nobody could possibly foresee. For all of his faults I think Mitt handled it rather well.

he would sell it on EBay. She mentions that possibility later on in the story. Is there nothing a repuke won't do for a dollar?

What the hell happened to just handing the guy a napkin or hanky. and saying it's to wipe his brow. That guy is a fucking loon!

In their minds anyone is capable of harming their "star" and who knows what a person could be swiping on your face as they wipe off sweat.
On the other hand thinking about doing such a thing makes me want to find my bottle of antibacterial soap!

especially the part where he tries to pick off the stuff from Romney's face with his fingers. There might be something wrong with that guy, I don't know.

It is hilarious that it happened to Mitt, however.
