Then the gag order will not be lifted (there are POWERFUL MEN behind Romney). I'd like to be wrong. WinkyDink Oct 2012 #43

Maybe she doesn't. But she knows the REFUSAL will get publicity. WinkyDink Oct 2012 #78

That seems more likely to me - TBF Oct 2012 #110
Yep - I bet this has something to do with his role as Bishop in the church and some myrna minx Oct 2012 #121
