The Best and Brightest?

While the dust hasn't settled about last night's debate, so it's not entirely clear who won. Still, Romney claimed that Syria is Iran's "route to the sea." Is it possible that Romney is igonrant of the existence of the Persian Gulf? Or that Syria and Iran don't even have a common border? This is from a guy who graduated from Harvard with graduate degrees in law and business. And he doesn't know geography? Sheesh!
