Why, yes. Yes they are. Many Twitter users are pinning a “The Brady Bunch” cousin Oliver “jinx” label on Mitt Romney, due to Pacquiao’s loss.

Did #Romney cause #Pacquiao to lose? This is how he went up to greet him; “Hi, Manny, I’m Mitt Romney. I ran for president. I lost.”

Loosing? Oh, dear. Try to get the words right, at least, when attempting to slam someone.
Others have a different take, and some advice for Romney.
Friendly & informative RT @ZekeJMiller: MT @nytbishop: Romney in Pacquiao locker room. "Hello Manny. I ran for president. I lost." Seriously

If Romney talks to any press or like anybody tonight, he should say in total seriousness, "My name is Inigo Montoya."
