Who Romney considers an "adviser" may come back to bite him in the arse.

He wants just about anyone to be an "adviser" if it's Obama apparently:



"Romney Camp Will Keep Calling Hilary Rosen an Obama Adviser Because Shut Up That's Why"

Rosen is neither a presidential adviser nor a "DNC strategist." She's a CNN analyst and a strategist at SKD Knickerbocker. In her paid CNN role, she's prohibited from working for a campaign. There are, occasionally, work-arounds when it comes to these contracts. James Carville contributes to CNN; he also lends his name to DCCC fundraising emails.

But as the call went on it got clearer and clearer that the surrogates were mainlining talking points. Several times they mentioned that Rosen had visited the White House 35 times, even though we don't know if every visit was made by this Hilary Rosen. "Visiting the White House" does not mean "advising the president." When pressed, Rep. Lummis kept up the whopper regimen.

"special relationship is special" ?

Here is what I found:

"I believe in an America where millions of Americans believe in an America that's the America millions of Americans believe in. That's the America I love." –Mitt Romney (January 2012)

"I love this state. The trees are the right height." —Mitt Romney, campaigning in Michigan (February 2012)
