<snip>
Mitt Romney gave an unemployed woman a handful of cash after a campaign rally in Sumter, South Carolina.
An aide for Romney said the woman received about $50 dollars from the GOP presidential candidate according to reports.
The woman, identified as 55-year old Ruth Williams said she had followed the Romney campaign the last week in South Carolina.
Williams said she had met Romney earlier in the week and told him about her financial troubles. During Saturday's campaign event, she said Romney spoke with her, introducing her to South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) and then handing her cash from his wallet.
"He was kind to me," she said in a report from CNN. "He held onto me and he made Gov. Haley and them come see about me."

(127,312 posts)And now she's "volunteering" for his campaign - I suppose in exchange for more "hand-outs" and other trinkets in what I suppose could be called "employment".
Am sure he will spin it to say "See! I created a JOB"!!!

(8,582 posts)It would cost Romney more than 60 bucks to get me to vote for him. But hey, I can understand 60 bucks for someone unemployed could help out a great deal.
