Romney Takes Ownership of Brown Victory

ABC News’ Rick Klein reports: For those reading 2012 implications out of Sen.-elect Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts, Mitt Romney’s monthly PAC newsletter provides some insights.

Brown, R-Mass., is featured in two pictures in the newsletter, and Romney takes full ownership of his victory:

“As supporters of the PAC, you deserve a thank you,” the newsletter from Romney’s Free Strong America PAC reads. “Your support made it possible for Governor Romney to get behind Senator Brown from the very beginning, when polls showed him a 30-point underdog and everyone assumed the outcome was pre-ordained in favor of the Democrats.”

“Governor Romney asked his entire political team to help the then-unknown Brown, and he raised early money for him at a time when very few people would give him a second look.”

Indeed, several key figures in Brown’s victory -- notably Eric Fehrnstrom, Beth Myers, and Peter Flaherty -- were and continue to be Romney people.

Brown’s campaign manager, Beth Lindstrom, was a member of Romney’s Cabinet; his press secretary, Felix Browne, was a deputy press secretary under Gov. Romney; Brown finance director Priscilla Ruzzo held that same post in Romney’s 1994 Senate race; and Will Ritter was a key advance staffer for Romney before he worked for Brown’s campaign.

LMAO...poor choice of words...

Not only do I hit abuse, I also nag people publicly about their posts. It’s no secret.

Hitting the abuse button on JR is ridiculous though, are you going to explain that to us?

[ejonesie22]

Then you'll become a democratic candidate for office somewhere...

I see a trend here...

Sorry Charlie this is just getting to funny.
Are you going to abuse me?

[Diogenesis]

Was not aware you are an Admi. Moderator at FR for Romney.
Who knew?

Yes, sir. No more criticism of Mitt.

Yes. sir.

[svcw]

Stop......I am laughing so hard, my sides are hurting.

[ejonesie22]

Not really, indeed apropos I would think...

[Diogenesis]

Romney, the turd in the party's punchbowl.

[ejonesie22]

Charles, how’s your vision?

[CharlesWayneCT]

Nah, I had enough fun at that last week. :-)

Was not aware you are an Admi. Moderator at FR for Romney.

Not nearly so limiting. Also not an Admin Mod, and I think you should apologize to the Admin Mods for that. :-)

But here at FR, it is somebody’s business, which is why we have the “abuse” button and moderators.

It sounds as if you might fancy yourself a moderator. Why don't you leave it to those that JimRob trusts with the position and lay off the abuse button. Don't you think the mods have enough to do without your tattletelling - especially when it on the boss himself? At my company, you would be fired for insubordination.

The acts are very different. That is why I am not a libertarian on abortion, while I am a libertarian on smoking. But the libertarian argument is the same: “I believe this act to be morally wrong, and I will not participate in it and I will teach my children not to participate, but I will not use the law to force my moral positions on anyone else.”

[ansel12]

LOL, Don’t ban JR.

[Snurple]

Just hit the button...

[Servant of the Cross]

I feel I must defend Chuck here (Charles is it okay if I call you Chuck?). At post #107, he clearly stated that this one abuse hit was intended to be a joke.

[ansel12]

Some things are moral positions and some things have a different level of urgency because some one is being killed.

It sounds as if you might fancy yourself a moderator.

Oh great, now it will be Charles-in-charge

[greyfoxx39]

Not only do I hit abuse, I also nag people publicly about their posts. It’s no secret.

What a guy!

[ansel12]

It was a joke?

Thanks, I kept looking for that kind of answer, but I was jumping around a lot and kept missing #107

As a joke it is funny.
