'or so they say'
-but I guess we'll never really know, since Glenn jumped the gun. Lobbyists are a way of life in Washington. It is how things get done. And Romney should come out and say that, instead of bitching about 'the special interests' and putting himself as a man of the people and not those 'special interests'. (Notice how it is rare that any politician actually names who those special interests are?)
Here's an AP article about Romney and his lobbyists:

Here's one about the guy who started this, Ron Kaufman:

Sure seems like Kaufman is wired into that campaign. Which, again, why lie about what is a fact of life in Washington. Just tell the people this is how business gets what they want, and that is the American Way.
Here's a list of K-street endorsements, which, let us say that Glen is wrong and Handsome Willard is right, there's no lobbyists in the campaign...Well, they sure don't mind supporting him with cash.

Mitt has the most endorsements in the Republicans. However, you will not be able to not notice that Hillary is the Queen of K-Street endorsements. Maybe we can get a ballsy reporter to do his job and call her out next time she talks about the 'Special Interests'.
THANK GOD MITT GAVE US STAPLES! OK. I'll take back 'strip mall' and say 'plaza'.
Glen
Glen wasn't stating facts, and Romney's camp was going to say "I have no lobbyists tied to my senior leadership" or so they say. Glen was trying to nail Romney on an issue that wasn't fully there.
It's not a strip mall department store by the way, it's a Staples, which is a chain of stores that wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Bain Capital and Mitt Romney.
Casino Workers for Obama, Hillary Supporters Cry
You people will love this. And in case any of you naive, ill-educated democrats and 'liberal's stumble upon this, its not just the Bushies and Karl Rove who play dirty.
Reporter Not For Romney
These people have press conferences inside strip mall department stores?
This Glen should have waited for Romney to finish with his '...have no lobbiests tied to my campaign...'before calling him out on his bullshit. Would have played better and wouldn't have given Romes the out of saying, 'Well, he's not running it'.
Pay attention at the end when another reporter schools poor Glen on not being professional by being 'aggressive with the candidate'
Uh, isn't what these people should do? Asking questions, stating facts, calling them out on their bullshit, generally being aggressive with all these assholes?
