Mitt Romney Challenged

While Romney was trying to stress that he doesn't ties to lobbyists and as corrupt as other candidates, he didn't expect to be called out by a journalist on the scene. "I don't have lobbyists running my campaign," claimed Romney. Reporter Glen Johnson had none of it, he quickly pointed out that he has a registered lobbyist amoung his highest inner circle. "He doesn't run my campaign." Romney attempted to play a game of semantics and claim only one individual "runs" his campaign. A technicality, yes, but is it honest? No. What about the rest of the campaign staff? When he said he doesn't have "lobbyists" running his campaign, its in the plural sense - which infers that more than one person is in charge of the campaign - and not just the campaign manager. Apparently, an "adviser" isn't a "runner." Very weak argument, Mr. Romney!
