When will Mitt Romney...

...have his Sister Soulja Moment?*

Will he have one?

The GOP nominee missed several opportunities during the primaries; the most notable was a couple of months ago when Rush Limbaugh called Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke a "slut" and a "prostitute." When asked about it, Romney could only say that "...it's not the language I would have used." 

Really? What language would you have used?

Yesterday, Richard Grenell, Romney's openly gay foreign policy spokesman, resigned "in the wake of a full-court press by anti-gay conservatives," according to Washington Post writer (and Romney cheerleader) Jennifer Rubin.

So I repeat the question, When will Mitt Romney have his Sister Soulja Moment? Will he ever be able to stand up to the party's base, or is he a captive of the right wing?

* Sister Souljah (born Lisa Williamson, 1964) is an American hip hop-generation authoractivistrecording artist, and film producer. She gained prominence for Bill Clinton's criticism of her remarks about race in the United States during the 1992 presidential campaign. Clinton's well-known repudiation of her comments led to what is now known in politics as a Sister Souljah moment. (Wikipedia)
