Some folks are claiming that during the Republican primary debates, Mitt Romney suggested eliminating FEMA . . . not a good position to hold, given Hurricane Sandy’s visit a week before Election Day. What does the transcript say?

It sure looks like he did. Check out Christian Science Monitor’s coverage.
