My Staffer's Mom Supports Me

By wt

Romney gets caught having a photo op with his staffer's mom. Uh, whoops.

Local and national media outlets, including Politico.com, reported that Romney was the picture of empathy as he sat at the Marshall, Mich. kitchen table of 51-year-old Elizabeth Sachs, a single mother of two who lost her job as a retail manager ? as well as her health insurance ? and is running out of money as she tries to sell her house to move to Florida.

What wasn?t reported ? and what the Romney campaign did not reveal at the time ? was that one of Sachs? sons, Steve Sachs, is a paid employee of Romney?s campaign, organizing five counties in Michigan.

If you hire me as a paid staffer, Governor Romney, you may get my vote as well.
