“Wow, that was an expensive vanity campaign.”


“Romney started the year with a similar example of candor deficiency.

On Jan. 8 (2007), when he staged a “National Call Day” to kickoff his campaign, he called a news conference to herald his unprecedented one-day take of $6.5 million. When the multimillionaire was asked whether he might spend his own money on his campaign, Romney said that scenario “would be akin to a nightmare,” since he was relying on popular support for his campaign. He added that he reserved the right to donate, though.

In reality, Romney had already donated to his political committee at the time of the question. A campaign finance report he released in mid-April revealed he contributed a $2.35 million check by the time of his “nightmare” comment, starting the prior October.”

So you mean Slick Willard was for it before announcing he was against it, before he was for it again? Surprise, surprise.
