Stuart Stevens, Mitt Romney’s top strategist, knew his candidate’s convention speech needed a memorable mix of loft and grace if he was going to bound out of Tampa with an authentic chance to win the presidency. So Stevens, bypassing the speechwriting staff at the campaign’s Boston headquarters, assigned the sensitive task of drafting it to Peter Wehner, a veteran of the last three Republican White Houses and one of the party’s smarter wordsmiths.

Not a word Wehner wrote was ever spoken.

Politico had become a bit dodgy as far as I’m concerned. Has there been a recent change of ownership or management within the last 12 months?

The way it works is they purport to be fair and balanced" to build credibility so then when it really counts, i.e. in the months right before the election, they can influence for their Lord and Master, ZERO. The same as how a mole will pass along some true intelligence to build credibility so the suckers then fall for the false info offered up later.

Politico is a propaganda machine of the Obama administration.
