In reply to the discussion: Did Romney bring cheat notes into the debate? [View all]cleduc
(653 posts)literally typing as she spoke because I was busy with work.
I figured folks here could help sort it out - it would be of interest and bring my sister some peace of mind that it would get looked at.
This morning, she emailed that someone at Daily Kos had linked to this thread.
This afternoon, she reported that the Daily Kos thread had over 10,000 shares. This thread has over 1400 tweets. I also saw the thread linked to a news story. So I guess that's how it attracted some visitors.
I checked on google earlier today and this thread popped up near the top of a search for "Romney debate cheat note" so some folks may have been attracted that way.
There's nothing sinister going on that I can see. My sister saw something. I started the thread to ask a question on her behalf. And further down in this thread, I encouraged caution in reaching conclusions without proof so we didn't embarrass the Obama campaign (that my family and I have absolutely nothing to do with).
Hopefully, that helps explain some of what has gone on.
Regardless of how the question ultimately gets answered, in light of how things looked on that video, I think it was fair to ask the question.
