Why wouldn't they simply deny it, and say nothing more than that?
(A) Perry's camp knows it was Romney and they're helping Cain?
(B) Perry's camp did it, and they are shifting blame to Romney to deflect?
(C) Perry's camp has no idea who did it, and they are taking this opportunity to hurt Romney in an attempt for Perry to gain a few points?
The only option which shows any class at all is option A.
Perry has better a opposition research team than Cain, so they probably do know who leaked it.
I know one thing: This is all going to get real old, real fast. A month of this, and none of us will pay attention to ANYTHING negative about ANY candidate except Obama. LOL
I’d want to see the question they were asked, and their exact answer. The statement as worded in this story isn’t an accusation. It’s a suggestion. Given that we have had multiple threads today attacking Romney and giving plausible leak stories implicating either him or his supporters, it is a rational statement to say that Romney’s camp may have been behind it (which is the words used in the story).
Never use headlines as a description of what is being told — they are written by people whose job is to draw readers, not necessarily match the story.
