[Vision2020] Dems like secret recordings

[Tom Hansen]

That's peculiar.

NOBODY, from either side of the aisle or from anybody's (pronounced "Romney"), mentioned ethics.

Perhaps many of the members of Romney's campaign committee were too busy rushing for the exits.  Even Pawlenty, the assistant chair of Romney's campaign committee, didn't stick around long enough to cast a shadow after the videos went public.

Seeya at the polls, Moscow, because . . .

I'd say he had a reasonable expectation that he wasn't going to be video-taped and uploaded to YouTube.
