Romney Dodges Questions About Deleted Emails

MANCHESTER, N.H. (CBS) – Mitt Romney's presidential campaign was dogged by controversy Friday. It's about those computer hard drives that staffers purchased and took with them when Romney left the Governor's office in 2006.

He says the actions were legal, but refuses to explain.
