She has some capitol resources

We apologize for the delay in posting this but we were trying to track down the McCain email so that we could post them both side by side. If anybody has it please forward over to the tipjar and we'll post it this afternoon.

In the meantime this email was sent out by a number of different Romney staff members over the weekend including the newly added, Nicole Schlinger. We meant to post on Nicole back around Thanksgiving but it had slipped the Cooler's collective conciousness until we received this email.

Schlinger is one of the pre-eminent fundraisers in Iowa politics. Her business, Capitol Resources, is based out of Brooklyn, Iowa (the similarities to Brooklyn, New York are striking). Schlinger is rumored to have received somewhere in the neighborhood of 250K for her services to Governor Romney.

Onto the email many of us received from Ms. Schlinger over the weekend.- Here are excerpts 0f Governor Romney's Iowa teams defense of their candidate- in their own words. The email was titled "Clarifying Gov. Romney's Support for Traditional Marriage."
--------------------------------------
Ahhh, politics on a Saturday night in December. Only in Iowa! As you may know, an article is being circulated today by supporters of Sen. John McCain as an attempt to mislead voters about Governor Mitt Romney's unwavering support for traditional marriage. In fact, his record of defending marriage is unassailable, and frankly is unmatched by any other political figure in America.

Governor Romney has NEVER supported civil unions or gay marriage -- not only has he not supported it but he has been THE champion battling to preseve traditional marriage on the frontlines. He does believe, however, that we should be a tolerant nation. America is not a punitive, mean-spirited, or bigoted country. Mitt Romney is 100% committed to a federal marriage amendment, while other possible candidates for president, including Senator John McCain, are not.

Then Schlinger goes on to list a litany of facts about Romney's record and closes with...

Thanks for taking the time to listen on a Saturday evening! As we all are, I'm still extremely disappointed about the results of the elections last month. It's easy to see why voters were fed up with months of negative ads. The circulation of this article today reminded me so much of that ... and we have to change if we are going to win!!!!
--------------------------------------
A couple of small shots at McCain and an empassioned defense of her man. Nice pick-up for team Romney. We'll try and track down the McCain email later today.

Isn't that EXACTLY what McCain believes?

12:48: No, it's apparently not what McCain believes. Why else would Chuck Larson be emailing around the NYT story that CC posted on Sunday?

Also, McCain opposes and voted against a federal constitutional amendment requiring marriage to be between a man and a woman. And supporting the initiative in AZ (which, by the way, was the only one in the country to have ever lost - so much for McCain as Chairman) is a red herring. You could ban marriage in as many states as you want, but gay couples will just go across state lines to get their marriages. We need the federal amendment.

A federal amendment will never pass because of the democrats and judges so the only solution is to get a ban passed in as many states as possible.

Btw, McCain guy 1:56, are you unaware of how own guy pandered to everyone on the issue on that Sunday morning talk show?

A federal amendment will never, never, never, never pass. It is pure politcial talking points and a waste of time. Do any of you hacks have the faintest notion about what it takes to amend the U.S. Constitution? Get a clue.

Nicole orchestrated a mess. She simply made phone calls, and left everyone else to clean up her mess.
