Mitt Romney's supporters in the Hamptons aren't exactly helping him shed his out-of-touch image. At high-priced fundraisers over the weekend, including one at the home of David Koch, several Romney backers were quoted by reporters making comments better suited to the Roaring 20s or even the Gilded Age than the 21st century.
