And there's already been some talk about it on Twitter and elsewhere, so word is getting around.

I think I saw that Donna Brazile and Debbie Wasserman-S. had already sent it out.

But I think more liberals read R/S. Hopefully this story will get some legs. I won't be happy till I see Rmoney in handcuffs for tax evasion.

They're one of the publications that exposed the story of electoral fraud by the Republicans in Ohio in 2004.

... and a brief google search reveals that it's already being picked up and reported a lot.

I don't think this will go away, unless someone digs up an even bigger story of Romney's past antics.

So I hope he is going to get hit with it after the Convention wraps up tonight.

Shouldn't take much longer to hit other media.

I wonder if any of that was involved in it. The mention of Bill Seidman is interesting in that regard. I have a feeling there is more to this story. I also have a hunch Rolling Stone will find it.

Republicans are in a trance or are like tantruming school children with their hands held stubbornly agains their ears .... no getting through. I keep asking myself how do otherwise bright seeming people continue to be "incurious" ....did Hillary describe W in this way .... now I am at the point of not wanting to absorb more facts about the dishonesty and ineptitude of Rmoney ..... because I'm sure it will only sink in to us ....

I knew Mittens was those ^%#$* long before i knew much more about him. Mostly they say one shouldn't try to judge others but in the case of all of us needing to help in the selection of a POTUS it becomes necessary for all of us to do such a thing. And thanks for your facts
