Mitt Romney campaign spent $500 at Chick-fil-A By: Tarini Parti August 20, 2012 08:44 PM EDT
The Romney campaign appreciates Chick-fil-A.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s campaign spent $500 at a Chick-fil-A in Atlanta last month, days before former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee’s national “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day” on Aug 1.
Romney’s campaign reported the cost as “meeting expense” in its monthly federal campaign finance filing on Monday.
The Atlanta-based fast food chain has come under fire after the company’s president Dan Cathy told the Baptist Press that Chick-fil-A was “guilty as charged” for backing “the biblical definition of a family.” Gay rights advocates have since called for people to boycott the company.

Another reason why the MSM is now officially reaching the bottom of the barrel in regards to political “news” (a term I now use very advisedly, as the Brits say!).
Just a little late to the party, eh Mitt? Should have jumped on Aug 1 like CONSERVATIVES did.
I’m voting against Obama period. But come on Mitt. Quit making two stupid statements for every one great one.
Does KFC have sandwiches again? Over the years they do, then don’t, then do.
From the story:

Seems to me Huckleberry was "late to the party", along with the rest of us.
Oooh, I missed that. Damn getting old. I breezed over the paragraphs.
Okay, then why report it now? Mitt trying to get in now? LOL /sarc
Remember what “Poltico” is.
They’re reporting on it now, because for them, being Romney and eating CFA are both negatives that can only sink his campaign.
In my case, they have a long wait.
I got a coupon for my evil chicken feast of hate.
Tarini Parti, the author of this hard hitting piece of journolism (I use the term loosly) is a reporting intern for politico the summer of 2012.
They must have the senior reporters diging into what kind of toilet paper Mitt uses.
diging=digging
I have a feeling there will be a few chik fil a hospitality tables at the inaugural balls.
Dunno, never had any KFC sandwiches, but their original chicken was/is just really good (taste-wise, not necessarily health-wise of course because it's fried food).
I used to work with a dyslexic Mormon programmer ... he was always going on about the wonders of the planet COBOL ....
Now that you mention it, the only one in Wisconsin is in Janesville.
