58. He didn't sign.

And the Obama team reps that are talking are repeating talking points from people who didn't actually read the filings.

They saw Romney's name and that he was "managing director" and ran with it. Another "managing director" filed the reports. There are a lot of "managing directors."

And, no, I refuse to even look at the damned filings again, much less read them. And I thought Milton was tedious.
