Parsing the meaning of 'campaign event' - The Maddow Blog

“Yesterday, the Republican team said it had canceled today’s campaign event in Ohio. Mitt Romney was set to headline a “victory rally” at a specific venue in Dayton, alongside specific celebrity guests, but out of sensitivity, the event was scrapped.

Instead, Romney will appear at the exact same venue at the exact same time with the exact same celebrity guests, but it will be billed as a “storm relief event.” What about yesterday’s promise about cancellations? A Republican official said Romney/Ryan hadn’t broken its word because, technically, this is “not a campaign event per se.”

About Me

Autostraddle.com is my website. I made this tumblr in mid-2009 because we just can't get enough internet.

Autostraddle likes queers, photography, pretty girls and pure poetry. She has many talents, including jumping & tumbling. She also enjoys words, lesbians and girl-on-girl culture. She is best enjoyed with a balanced breakfast at Autostraddle.

Riese is responsible for everything here, more or less.

our favorite tumblr is fuck yeah autostraddle

We're also big fans of straddle gifs, hotties with autostraddle swag, camp autostraddle tumblr and autostraddle spam.

You used to be able to ask us questions on formspring, but formspring has been shut down as of March 31st, 2013. Sadness.
