More from behind-the-scenes of the 2012 Republican National Convention. This time, it's a glimpse into how a senior Romney advisor felt during the now famous Clint Eastwood speech:

Eastwood later said, “If somebody’s dumb enough to ask me to say something, they’re gonna have to take what they can get.” ..........
