A Clinton house of horrors?

By Foon Rhee, deputy national political editor October 26, 2007 06:18 PM

Republicans keep saying America should be afraid, very afraid of a Hillary Clinton presidency.

Today, Mitt Romney took it one step further, suggesting a haunted house full of reasons to fear the Democratic front-runner.

At a town meeting in West Des Moines, a man said he was trying to organize a Halloween-themed event to "educate voters about the liberal agenda."

"You know, that's a great idea," Romney replied, in a moment captured by ABC News. "What do you think about Hillary's House of Horrors? All right? And we'd have … the 'raise your tax' room. We'd have the 'weaker military' room. We'd have the 'family values in shambles' room.... It'd be a pretty frightful place. And frankly what the Democrats are selling is really quite frightening these days as we approach Halloween."

The Clinton campaign did not respond to a request for comment.
