(144 posts)I teared up at that one!!! Its nice to see this side of him because he's so cerebral and often been accused of not showing much of that sensitive emotion, but wow thats just so amazing and touching to see. Thank you so much for sharing that.

(2,795 posts)On the other side, Romney's campaign staff's credit cards were immediately canceld Tues night so they had to pay for their own flights home. *that* is a very visible difference between these two men.

It sounds typically Romney, but I have a hard time believing his advisers would OK that action.
If so, that bastard will never again run for anything. No one would work for him.

What a complete as$.
When I first read this, I was giving him the benefit of the doubt that this action may be something that all campaigns doso they don't get charged huge sums of money by the ex-workers. But the article doesn't mention that, instead it goes deeper to explain what a bastard he is.
People, you don't know how lucky we are this guy lost. Whew!
Rock on, Obama!!!!!

(196,435 posts)Granted the Kaine party was at the Richmond Marriott not some (and mean this affectionately) dinging scrappy campaign office like that. My wife and I were with the hired pros of the Kaine Richmond office who honestly treated us like one of the staff. My wife had her own password into their system. We spent hours and hours with these "kids" from California, Nebraska, Maryland, etc.
GOD WHAT A NIGHT!!!

(653 posts)after trying to dig this country out of one of the worst holes it's ever been in, I don't think anyone is exaggerating when they describe what those people did as the greatest campaign in US history. They beat one gigantic nasty experienced organization pretty badly.
And that video helps to shine some light on why: a great leader surrounded by great people.
