Cute. On a related note, I just realized that I know one of the women in Romney's binders. Gormy Cuss Oct 2012 #1

Tell us more. Why does it make sense? stevenleser Oct 2012 #2

Because at the time it seemed rather odd that they would tap a non-partisan researcher Gormy Cuss Oct 2012 #3

She served on a governor's commission. At the time I was surprised that she was tapped (not a politico, just a registered Republican) but now it's starting to make sense.

but she was a registered Republican and as such one of the few pure researchers who had that registration. Most of my colleagues were Democrats or Democratic-leaning people. Very few were Republicans. I think that whoever compiled the "Wommins-you-should-use-in-your-admin" list had slim pickings in some topic areas and that's why she rose to the top of the heap. To be fair thougn she was a scrupulously nonpartisan researcher.
