About Romney going down in flames...
Not the campaign, but Ann's plane wasn't just making a metaphorical point, there was a cockpit fire in a 1989 airplane owned by a finance company (probably as security in a loan) which could have led to a serious event.
We are all glad it was landed safely. [ :whatever: --Sgt SB]
These campaigns involve a lot of travel, and a significant level of physical danger - from falling down the stairs or a platform collapse, to crazy people or groups of them.
I hope all of the candidates and their campaign staff and families remain safe.

2. With proper maintenance, I dunno if that's a factor You finally got something right.
But I know jack about airworthiness. That's for da** sure.
They probably own it, sold it to the finance company which then loaned them the money to buy it back. The finance company is then owned by a trust to which they are beneficiaries. That way, they don't "own" the jet, but they can deduct the expense of paying themselves for it. Back to being wrong again.
Then, there was this following gem...

14. I wouldn't be surprised...
...if the plane incident was a "smoke screen" to cover when Romney released his "taxes."
