From London: "Olympic mania has struck. Maybe Mitt Romney was the unintentional catalyst."

There's big groups taking photos of each other with the giant Olympic rings as a backdrop, and a lot of people around, even for a mild summer Friday. You could say some semblance of Olympic mania has struck. Maybe Mitt Romney was the unintentional catalyst.
