I find the more that titans of business compromise themselves to get ahead, the more they not only go for the usual major donations in order to buy the offsetting title of ‘humanitarian’, but also the more they go out of their way helping individuals from among ‘the little people’ along their path. (Not business suppliers or rivals, mind you.)
IMO this reassures them that they aren’t bad guys because of the professional hardball they play to get ahead. My guess is that Romney is of this ilk. Remember, it was his political team that jumped to the McCain camp and immediately started torpedoing Palin from within. It was Romney’s dirty work done by his minions, but it ended up keeping Palin out of his way in 2012.

Actually, I thought that the main culprit was that turd Steve Schmidt, and he never worked from Romney.
