-snip-
But on the evening when the divisive former vice president opened his home at the foot of Wyomings majestic Teton Range to host a $4 million fundraiser for the presumptive Republican nominee, Romneys campaign labored to avoid any photos or videos of the two men together.
While Thursday nights 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 Cheneys 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 campaigns policies for coverage of fundraising events, they were not allowed to take pictures or film the remarks.

(103,856 posts)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.
