Mitt Romney's Campaign Cancels Staffers Credit Cards In The Middle Of The Night
The next time you have the misfortune of hearing a Wall Street titan or other one-percenter whine about how their trickle-down contributions are not appreciated by the masses remember this tidbit, courtesy of Garrett Haake at NBC:
From the moment Mitt Romney stepped off stage Tuesday night, having just delivered a brief concession speech he wrote only that evening, the massive infrastructure surrounding his campaign quickly began to disassemble itself.
Aides taking cabs home late that night got rude awakenings when they found the credit cards linked to the campaign no longer worked.
No doubt a whole host of Boston taxi drivers found themselves stiffed when it came to tips early Wednesday morning. Thats what happens when the money trickles up, not down.

About not writing a concession speech. I figured he was bluffing. Who knew?

Based on the anecdotal info about the behind the scenes at the campaign - the Game Change, Version 2, should be GREAT.
