Mitt Romney's campaign staff was just about to release a commercial,
attacking Obama for attending the *wrong* kind of church.
The ad featured a crazy, preacher (whom Obama has publicly denounced) and
says that Obama is one of his followers.

But Mitt Romney stepped in at the last minute, begging his Super PAC to not
run the ad.
After all, it's he, not Obama, who's representing anti-government and
religious extremists.

And when he had that ad pulled - he was wearing his magic underwear, as
required by the Mormon church.

I thought Super PACs were supposed to be completely separate from the
candidates and their campaigns?

Romney's campaign staff?

Surely you can provide some evidence to back up this assertion.

But then, you are a liar.

Romney does not want the reminder that Jeremiah Wright served six years in
the military while Romney got religious exemptions and sat Viet Nam out in
France.

He can't control the PAC but surely he retains his freedom of speech.
It appears he used that freedom to express his position on such ads.

"I want to make it very clear: I repudiate that effort," Romney told
reporters after a campaign stop in Florida. "I think it's the wrong
course for a PAC or a campaign. I hope that our campaigns can be
respectively about the future and about issues and about vision for
America."

Look for some real information instead of the obviously confused
original post on this thread. When the poster confuses his campaign
staff with a PAC you ought to be just a bit suspicious.

Yep, Romney is just protecting his back side. He belongs to a church
that has been branded as a cult by fundamentalist religions that
comprise the right wing. And, (except to not be Obama) he has not
defused that in any way. Romneys worst mistake would be to open the
religion argument in this campaign.

And, as front runner the Super PACS will not deter this.

But,the repubs are replacing the candidate and his campaign thoughts
with their vision of America. Romney and the repubs are just wall paper
for the party which is now run by the Super PACS and billionaires who
will dictate the agenda and platform of the repubs. Romney has no power
in the face of this.

Yet when Willard's super pac was bombarding Florida with millions of
dollars of rather nasty anti-Gingrich ads, he declined to speak out -
claiming he was powerless to do so.

Yeah, it was a little bit illegal for him to do that.
But that's an Earthly law, and Mormon's don't believe themselves to be bound
by Earthly laws.

Not only CAN he control them, he DID control them
They were running with the ad, and only stopped after he told them to.
That's control.

Sure, you could say it's not the driver that turns the car; that the power
steering is what turns it.
But decent people know better.

That's what a Romney presidency would look like, as well - a befuddled
president, not entirely sure of what he's doing, much less what anyone else
is doing.

Whose campaign staff do you think put this out - Rick Perry's?

If you want this message to get out - you'll have to remove Romney from the
equation.
He's the one that quashed the commercial.

They're conspiring together to take your guns away and give them to
Socialist homosexuals in Israel.

Sadly American politics is saturated with people who ran for a job that
hey had no idea how to do. They just wanted the job and perks. We have
had too many failed presidents.

He may be befuddled now, but Cheney was clear-headed when he was president.

Not only did Obama attend Wright"s church and listen to his hate sermons, he
listened to them in his car and quoted Wright in his book.

In Romney's defense, his duty to his church is superior to his duty to his
country or his family.
Serving his country would have damned him to hell.
