“They could have just said he hired an Architect (rather than a lobbyist)”

But I doubt the guy is a lobbyist in the typical sense of the term. He’s more likely an “expediter” that makes a living of guiding rich people through the maze that is the California approval process. Makes perfect sense for anyone with the money to hire someone like that.

The problem is that the media turns him into a “lobbyist” and Romney winds up looking like crap to the GENERAL PUBLIC...in an election year.

You're probably right. The description just struck me as funny because I work for an Architect and spend a lot of time helping clients through various approval processes.

Never thought to market my services as a "lobbyist" maybe I could charge a larger fee if I did. LOL
