Is Jim Vandehei a paid Romney campaign staffer?

He certainly is carrying more water for them than most "journalists." At least Tweety is calling him out on some of his lamer talking points, especially how he thinks Romney would govern from the center and how Obama hasn't outlined specifics any more than Romney had.

Bullshit.

yes, I do think he was shilling for Romney. It was actually a rather bizarre segment when it came to what Vandehei said. In essence, he said Romney is an out and out liar when it comes to being "severely conservative" and will, instead, govern from the 'middle'. I am not sure what Vandehei was trying to do there but whatever it was it failed miserably, imo.
