He did not say this.

While helping rally support for Iowa Senate candidate Joni Ernst (you know, the woman who "grew up castrating hogs"), the Des Moines Register reports that Mitt Romney said: "She didn't just sit at home needle-pointing, as you know, she was doing some work on the farm — squealing work on the farm."

We know what the squealing reference was about. And, of course, Romney said a lot of other stuff that won't make any headlines. But some in the press seized on the needle-pointing line, and it's worth asking why....

TheNational NeedleArts Association (TNNA) (click here) and Hart Business Research presented awards and prizes to the winners of the 4th annual TNNA Business Innovation Awards on May 3, 2014. The judges evaluated applications based upon measurable or forecast impact of the initiative and usefulness of application as a case study for others. The judges awarded over $12,000 in prizes in four categories.
