Well isn't this interesting, McCain's 2008 oppo research file on Romney.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/78582788/McCain-2008-Oppo-File
200 pages on the Mittens.


From comments on juanitajean.com
Just to whet your appetite – at the end, there are quotes captured on tape of Romney saying the following (amongst other juicy things):

“I’m wary of anyone who parlays background, money, and hair to political success.” [Talk about being non self-aware.]

“I thought becoming rich and famous would make me happy. Boy was I right.” [This may be honest, but it sure seems to speak on the issues him being self-absorbed and unable to identify with the rest of us.]

Those are on the last page. So from beginning to end (and I bet the middle parts have some gems as well), this is truly worth reading.

Like being a fly on the wall.

It's too bad that so much of the stuff that he could be called on as a flip-flopper or panderer was actually, originally, okay.

Thanks for posting that--really cool!

button issue. You'd think he'd have chaffing problems from straddling the fence so much, lol.
