They would have had to upgrade the mechanism in order to accept more coins.

At the laundromat I sometimes use for large items, they use a smart card, so they can charge whatever they want. I think smallest front loader cost 2.85 for a load the last time I was there.

The ONLY way Romney would EVER be dumping laundry soap into a toploader is if there was no one else in the house available to show the new maid the "proper" way of doing it.

to be 'everyday' that are so obviously desperate attempts. So painfully clueless. They need to stop embarrassing themselves.

el cheapo laundry room sink, paper towel dispenser, and MULTIPLE washing machines.

Totally fake and staged, probably in some apartment complex or no-tell motel.

Perhaps if Romney ran into some black people on the street, his son could get a picture of him doing this.

Then he was led back to his hotel suite because left alone he probably cannot find his way back from the hotel basement where the laundry room is located.

you know how people tend to take more pics when they are in a place they usually aren't or doing something they usually don't do to capture the moment ?

so that's why the son thought it was a moment to capture.
