Who would *want* to release this video of Romney?
Obviously it was someone who was not a fan of Romney. But what kind of political opponent could've gotten this close to a high dollar, elite meet-the-candidate fundraiser? The video shows someone meeting in a very small group with the isolated, bubble-bound Republican candidate.
One possibility is it's a pro-Obama family member of the zillionnaire who Romney was ass-blowing for some campaign scratch. Zillionnaire Jr lurking on the balcony, videographing one moneyshot while the candidate shmoos up Zillionnaire Sr for another kind of moneyshot. If this is the case, then this family has a pretty interesting Thanksgiving dinner to look forward too.
Another possibility is it's a Ron Paulie-slash-libertarian who wants the GOP to crash and burn so the zero-government types can take over the party in 2016.
A more extreme theory is that it's a true blue conservative who shot & released the tape (the Mother Jones writer was implying the video shooter released it only reluctantly). If that's the case, I wonder if he/she has an agenda that involved Romney stepping down from the campaign, creating a scenario where the RNC has to reconvene suddenly (like the Dems did in 1972) to appoint a replacement nominee.
The last hypothesis I'll offer is that it's a Christian Fundy who is reviled by the fact that his party nominated a cultist and a Catholic for the national ticket. No matter how bad I want to see the Republicans tank, I'd really hate it if it was religious bigotry that drove this leak.

I hope that turns out to be the case. 
hoping to do a Ryan/West show.
