Romney is still right. He does not have lobbyists “running’ his campaign. So what did Johnson get right? Perhaps if he would have phrased his objection some other way, but he just stepped in it. Romney never said he did not have lobbyists raising money, they just don’t call the shots. Johnson should have been more specific.

"Regardless of whether they "run" the campaign, these lobbyists have helped fund it, and that makes the anti-lobbyist rhetoric somewhat hypocritical, regardless of the parsing of the word "run"."

Right. (And if your new hybrid vehicle only took "corn-y" gas from a special pump at a gas station chain called Lobbyist, we all know that Lobbyist wouldn't be "running" your hybrid, either, eh?)
