Romney campaign is in tatters. SOMEONE thought that staged photo op can drive was a good idea.

Not only did he make the donors wait an hour so he could be photographed getting the stuff, much of the stuff was pre-purchased and put o the table. He had John McCain there attacking the President, they showed the film from the Convention. It was basically a campaign rally with canned goods that no one fucking wanted. Glad that some in the media got frustrated with his bullshit...

Romney refused to answer questions at the event, about his FEMA comments. Remember, he promised NO media contact at this point forward. When he was fucking up all the time, they called it the "Mitness Protection Program" in his campaign. They can't risk his saying anything anymore... But hey, they DID fax to all the news agencies a "PR Photo Op" of Mitt's plane landing in Florida. Seriously they did that today (and it was even tweeted by someone at NBC!!!)

All I saw were real tight shots, which would not be an accurate reflection of attendance.

Actually, it looks more like 250 from that shot.
