Mitt Romney for President My Man Mitt: Evans and Novak Step in it Again!

We reported last week on the numerous errors and exaggerations that novak/Evans purported in last week's newsletter.

This week they step in it again. Here's the quote:

Romney reportedly spent more than $300,000 in organizing for the event and transporting, registering and housing volunteers. Brownback's backers assert that if the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., hadn't been on spring break, Brownback could have beaten Giuliani.

This is another outrageous statement. From what I understand they are off by a factor of 10! As we reported, the "busses" that brought people in were all of 3 vans with perhaps 20 people total. There were buttons, flyers and t-shirts for the event which was probably the bulk of the cost. It did NOT... I repeat NOT cost $300,000.

Romney is probably burning through money. But he knows where to put it. Perhaps we can buy Evans/Novak some information.... they were sure misled.

	8 Comments: The liars are out in full force making up stuff against Romney. I don't expect much of Media folks but Brownback is really disappointing me. I used to like him so much but he is not acting like the man I thought he was during this campaign. Shame. By Anonymous, at March 14, 2007 at 6:46 PM Mr. Evans is getting fed bad information from a competing campaign. I wonder why he is buying it hook line and sinker? By Anonymous, at March 14, 2007 at 9:48 PM By a factor of ten? Well then, it's still a spending factor of 15:1 compared to Sam Brownback, who didn't try to buy CPAC votes. He finished a strong third and didn't have a bunch of ringers supporting Brownback t-shirts, unlike your man Mitt! At the very least, don't blame Rowland Evans for "step[ping] in it again!" He, sadly, passed away in 2001. Have some respect for the dead, a smart man who covered politics with Robert Novak since 1963. And what exactly is georgiamom's complaint about Sam Brownback? What has he done to slight Mitt Romney? And where is your proof, Justin, that $300k wasn't spent by the Romney campaign? I'd like to see it.

But still... By IZ, at March 14, 2007 at 10:29 PM Hahaha IZ. D-d-did I st-stutter? By Anonymous, at March 15, 2007 at 8:08 AM Psychout, The interseting thing about proof, especially in the american jiudicial system and popular concensus, is that the burden of such falls on the accuser, not the defendant. It is by definition, therefore, unjust to make exaggerated claims and then ask the accused to prove them wrong. The romney campaign has more important things to do than actively seek out and extinguish all exaggerations by the MSM. By IZ, at March 15, 2007 at 10:56 AM How could it POSSIBLY cost $300,000 for 20 people to travel by van from Michigan to DC????? Also, there were PLENTY of Brownback supporters at CPAC.
