The story got quite a bit of play in SC and I believe it cut into him temporarily. Do you really want somebody who would treat a dog that way to be sending kids to war, managing Social Security and Medicare cuts or writing tax and trade policy?

In every one of those cases, Republican or Democrat people who work for a living are going to see themselves as poor old Seamus in his "airtight" kennel with Romney getting out of the car every once in a while for a cursory hosedown.

Yeah, the episode tells an important story about this man.
