Busted: Mitt Romney’s Campaign Caught Collaborating With Karl Rove's American Crossroad

ABC just obtain a leaked document that the details the guest-list and program for Mitt’s highly secretive retreat in Utah this weekend. This is how they described the event:

..............................

This is quite a little party he has going on. The most newsworthy issue I see is in this paragraph:

“Then, “Media insight” will feature Romney counsel and longtime GOP attorney Ben Ginsberg; Fred Barnes and Kristol, editors and co-founders of The Weekly Standard; GOP strategist Mary Matalin; and Bush strategist and American Crossroads founder, Karl Rove."


Karl Rove is developing media strategies on behalf of American Crossroads and the Romney campaign?
Think about this for a second...


Karl Rove has been running millions of third party ads against Obama. Romney claims he has no control, knowledge or involvement with his group but he develops a panel with:

1. The Romney Campaign
2. The Founder of American Crossroad
3. Two Employees from the Weekly Standard
4. Three Employees from Fox News
5. One employee from CNN


...to work on a media strategy?

What?

Seriously?

We need to make him eat this!!!
