1 - Romney was a smokescreen, to make it seem to the media and the public that he was actually entertaining someone reasonable for the position of Secretary of State, using Romney's respectability.

2 - It was a lovely bit of revenge: Smile and smile, dine with him at the most posh restaurant, have multiple meetings - very publicly - and make it known that Romney was a top contender for the position.

Then very publicly drop him on his ass.
