Watch the Romney video closely. The camera is still, relatively far away, and on what looks like a marble surface.
I don't know who filmed that, but I'm putting my money on a bartender or a member of the waitstaff. It looks like a bartop or, if the place was truly posh, a station.
It has to be. I can't think of any people who would pay that much to be inside a Romney event solely to catch Teh Candidate on the off chance he might say something that dumb...nor do I think a Romney donor, even in extremis, would leak such a video and torpedo Teh Candidate they just paid a shit-ton to see.
That was a member of the service industry. Bank it.
Out. Fucking. STANDING.

(50,566 posts)And there's so much you could learn but you don't want to know
You will not back up an inch ever
That's why you will not survive
The thing that I tell you now
It may not go over well
And it may not be photo-op
In the way that I spell it out
But you won't hear from the messenger
Don't wanna know 'bout something that you don't understand
You got no fear of the underdog
That's why you will not survive, right

(297,173 posts)"This is a time when it's good to be a friend of Obama campaign," Romney told the crowd at the River Hills Club in Jackson. "Because you might be able to get some money for your business. But it's not so good to be middle class in America."

We guard you while you're asleep. We drive the ambulances. We direct your call. We are cooks and taxi drivers and we know everything about you. We process your insurance claims and credit card charges. We control every part of your life.
We are the middle children of history, raised by television to believe that someday we'll be millionaires and movie stars and rock stars, but we won't. And we're just learning this fact. So don't fuck with us.

(9,001 posts)on YouTube and found the clips. He traced it back to the poster and set up the "meet" with Corn and let those two work it out.
But I will agree that it was great to have Carter IV taking up his grampa's flag.

(6,785 posts)filming rich people when they don't want you to isn't illegal. Unless the man/woman signed some kind of agreement not to film anything they can't do jack to him/her. Even if he/she did sign something, the worst they can do is sue.
Edited to add: Huh. I just found out about the Florida law. I don't think that will stand up to a first amendment challenge.

I'm guessing he was paid fairly well for this.
