“that’s not something that’s part of my campaign”.
Translation:
“What’s in it for me? I’ve got an election to win here.
I’m the heir apparent to the presidency according to Karl Rove and his establishment buddies and I don’t make a move without their approval.
Besides, I’m not a conservative and this sounds like something the stupid Tea Party cooked up”.
So lemme get this straight: Mittens considers stopping in at Chick FA to get a sandwich in support of free speech and Dan Cathy is a “distraction”? Uh huh.
Exactly. It's totally beneath the GOP-e to be involved with the "unwashed people" issues. If it's not scripted...the plastic front men don't have an opinion.
Would have been nice to have seen him rubbing elbows, waiting in line for an order. Mittens has better things to do.

Where did you read or hear that he said this? I suspect that it is the fruit of your inner dialog.
He considers Chick-fil-A a refueling stop. Here's what he said to Truett Cathy last May at Liberty University's commencement ceremony, in which Mr. Cathy was being awarded an honorary doctorate:
The Romney campaign comes to a sudden stop when we spot a Chick-fil-A. Your chicken sandwiches were our comfort food through the primary season, and heaven knows there were days that we needed a lot of comfort. So, Truett, thank you and congratulations on your well-deserved honor today.
I'm with you, MM.
