I think the more important question is why on earth were campaign workers allowed to use Campaign credit cards for cabs?

I believe the left will be attempting to smear Romney for the next four years.
We won't have to. The Republicans have already started up that Greyhound and tossed Romney down on the pavement.
No. It's not, dope.Is this report even true? Also I was never a paid supporter but is this that much of an unusual action with credit cards after an election period is over? I have no idea. Kind of hard to get all over one candidate when it could be status quo for these things.
It's from the esquire, you decide

Damn, you're thick.
Shouldn't the campaign tell it's staff? Give them a heads up? Maybe collect the cards from them and give them $20-30 cash for cabs to get home?Mitt Romney's Campaign Cancels Staffers Credit Cards In The Middle Of The Night - Forbes
<excerpt>
From the moment Mitt Romney stepped off stage Tuesday night, having just delivered a brief concession speech he wrote only that evening, the massive infrastructure surrounding his campaign quickly began to disassemble itself.
Aides taking cabs home late that night got rude awakenings when they found the credit cards linked to the campaign no longer worked.
No doubt a whole host of Boston taxi drivers found themselves stiffed when it came to tips early Wednesday morning. Thats what happens when the money trickles up, not down.
This is why healthy economies dont depend on the trickle down whims of overlords. The minute Richie Rich decides he doesnt need all that stuff staff well, thats that.
Thanks. Looks like NBC was the first to report this. I have no idea what the protocol is with these campaign issued credit cards or their max amounts but having loose cards active after an election loss might be a bad idea? No?
In France no one can be fired. The government tried to pass laws allowing employers to fire non performing employees and ended up with riots in the streets.

We are moving along in that direction where the employer is supposed to keep paying employees after they have stopped working.

Sorry, I don't see that.
You must thinking of the way Obama treats his friends when he doesn't need them.
Ask Rev. Wright.

Cabs? You mean all his staffers live in Boston. I'm guessing many had to fly home from Boston. So what does happen to the unspent campaign contributions since apparently it's not being used to get your staffers home??????
Dunno about you, but if I were one of the staffers, it would be an assumption I would make. No more job, no more job credit card.Shouldn't the campaign tell it's staff? Give them a heads up?

Simple.
No, they have selective thoughts or something along the lines of romnesia.
Typical rich plutocratic syndrome from mitten, as soon as they have used someone or something and it is no longer of value to them. Discard it quickly.
And they wonder why the real workers in this country don't vote for them.

Just seemed kind of tabloidesque as written. I hate commenting on things that might not be true or might be SOP.
and yet you comment on lgs threads.....and others that are obviously false...ie the thread on non union workers being turned away from up north....
dont grab the banner of truth and pretend its your friend
Let 's put this into the right context. Rev. Wright was not WORKING for President Obama.
These people were dedicating time and effort for mittens.

This kind of thing happens in the best-run campaigns from time to time. I can't believe anyone is wasting with this issue.
Romney said "I built this campaign. It's mine!"Do people realize that decisions about campaign credit cards are usually made by staffers and that the candidate rarely if ever gets involved in that kind of detail? I'm sure this was just an honest mistake. This kind of thing happens from time to time in even the best campaigns.
Are the folks who are screaming about stranded Romney staffers equally upset about the 4 Americans who were left to fend for themselves in the Benghazi attack and whose deaths were dishonored with the lie that the attack was just a spontaneous response to a YouTube video?

So it's alright to steal from him?
