Romney went out of his way to NOT be photographed with Cheney

-snip-

But on the evening when the divisive former vice president opened his home at the foot of Wyoming’s majestic Teton Range to host a $4 million fundraiser for the presumptive Republican nominee, Romney’s campaign labored to avoid any photos or videos of the two men together.

While Thursday night’s fundraiser in some ways symbolized a passing of the torch from the previous Republican administration to Romney, Cheney remains a deeply polarizing figure, and Romney campaign aides went to great lengths to control how much the public would see from the event.

When Romney arrived at the Teton Pines Country Club for a late-afternoon reception, he was spotted shaking Cheney’s hand and giving Lynne Cheney a kiss on the cheek. But campaign aides quickly escorted reporters who were watching the exchange out of view.

A limited pool of reporters attended a reception on the Arnold Palmer-designed golf course here where Romney and Cheney spoke, but in keeping with the campaign’s policies for coverage of fundraising events, they were not allowed to take pictures or film the remarks.

My first thought after reading Cat's headline was, Cheney doesn't pose for photos because he's vampirical. (I just made that word up.) LOL

WHY EVEN HAVE REPORTERS THERE??

I wish the reporters would all get together and start boycotting this fool.

Let him hang out with his FOX-y friends.

Reporters would be better served doing investigative work about the REAL Romney anyway.
