New York Times report concluded: “It’s still not clear why Mr. Giuliani’s office did that, or why it began prepaying its American Express bills, both practices that former administrations frowned upon … But the records reviewed so far … suggest that Mr. Giuliani’s efforts to see Ms Nathan, who is now his wife, had nothing to do with any accounting legerdemain.”
“This proves what we’ve been saying from the beginning – that all security expenses were appropriate, paid for properly and completely transparent,” Randy Mastro, a former deputy mayor under Giuliani, said in a statement issued by Giuliani’s presidential campaign.

Mitt Romney went a step further in a 1978 interview with the Boston Herald. Talking about the Mormon Church and racial discrimination, he said: “My father and I marched with Martin Luther King Jr. through the streets of Detroit.”
Yesterday, Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom acknowledged that was not true. “Mitt Romney did not march with Martin Luther King,” he said in an e-mail statement to the Globe.

Romney supporters- brace yourselves, think hard, and try to come up with an explaination for:
“Mitt Romney went a step further in a 1978 interview with the Boston Herald. Talking about the Mormon Church and racial discrimination, he said: “My father and I marched with Martin Luther King Jr. through the streets of Detroit.”

Who would have thought that?
December 21st, 2007 at 5:37 pm
Huck said he got kneecapped, woe-is-me he said about all of these attacks, Huck said he had been accused of everything except the JFK assassination and the Lindberg baby kidnapping.
This is after Romney ran 2 soft negative spots in IA.
This is the petty thin skinned whiney Huck some of us have been warning you about. The friendly funny Huck is gone. Meet the real Huck.
What will he do when the Clinton attach machine shows up? What will he do with a real negative add, instead of this soft stuff Romney is going with?
December 21st, 2007 at 5:41 pm
I live in Michigan and I just got a robot “negative campaign call” from Common Sense.
When I selected a candidate of choice (not Huckabee) they proceeded to give me a negative about that candidate and then ask if this would change my mind. When I said “no” they gave me a few more. After they then started giving me
pro-Huck statements and asked if this would change my mind. I answered, “no.”
These calls are not a positive for Huckabee. If he can’t control his “supporters” how can he possibly handle the war on terror?
December 21st, 2007 at 6:28 pm
Spunky, and the words from Common Sense were very ugly, right? Sad, Huckabee does not want us to attack him, but hey, here he is, attacking every other candidate. Sure, he does not offically approve of this 507c(?) organization, but he really can make statements in public about it, at least. His silence is loud enough.
December 21st, 2007 at 8:07 pm
Hey, did anyone else hear the Rush comments? I don’t listen to him much, but I have never ** ever ** heard him go after a GOP Presidential candidate that strongly before, and that’s counting John McCain. Don’t know what effect it will have on Huck’s campaign but it can’t be good.
December 21st, 2007 at 9:05 pm
If Huckabee is serious about repudiating Common Sense and the associated with them, he’d send back
every dollar they have sent to his camapign. Until then, I doubt his sincerity in wanting the calls to stop.
It makes me wonder more than ever who is behind the NH push polls.
December 21st, 2007 at 9:21 pm
uh, aron, was the paragraph citation necessary? I youst to look at these links as a romney supporter becuase they were actually a ’semi’ objective collection of articles, but it is so ridiculous at this point, that i hardly even click here as a romney guy.

John Galt,
If you happen to find a favorably written news article on Romney that does not appear in the Essential Reads, please provide a link here in the comments section and it will be promptly added.
Every set of eyes helps…
