President Carter To Grandson Re: Mitt Video: "James: This is extraordinary. Congratulations! Papa."
Former Pres. Jimmy Carter Congratulates Grandson on Unearthing Romney Video
How the Romney video leaked: For Carters, it was personal
The self-described Atlanta-based "oppo researcher" who helped broker the release of the secret video that has rocked the Romney campaign got a congratulatory email today from his famous grandfather -- former President Jimmy Carter.
........................
James Carter IV told NBC News in an interview that, starting late last month, he tracked down the source who took the secret Romney video via Twitter -- and then in a series of messages encouraged him to release the full tape to Mother Jones magazine.
After emailing his grandfather the magazine's story about the tape -- under the subject, "Huge campaign news," and calling it "my biggest story yet" -- the former president wrote back at 7:16 am Tuesday: "James: This is extraordinary. Congratulations! Papa."
"I'm proud of my role in being able to track him down," James Carter, 35, said about the source who took the video. "I'm a partisan Democrat. My motivation is to help Democrats get elected. If there is anything I can find in any race, I try to do that."

The way it’s playing out, the Carter child might just have helped cement Romney in the White House.
I think this is him:

Jimmah’s mother Lillian had no idea how true her words would turn out to be when she uttered this: “Sometimes when I look at my children I say to myself, ‘Lillian, you should have remained a virgin.’”
Would to God that she had; and Stanley Ann Dunham, as well!
So, Carter proves he’s STILL wrong.
They just don't realize that this thing is a complete non-issue to the average American.
I don’t think it is possible to tell how this will turn out, but the story is fascinating. Pretty sharp Carter IV. YouTube. “Rachel Maddow” “Anne Onymous.” Heh. Wonder who she is? Could be Jimmuh’s sweet revenge.
Ummm. There was also this:
The source who took the video has confirmed to NBC News that it was taken at a May 17 $50,000-a-plate fundraiser at the Boca Raton, Fla., home of private-equity mogul Marc Leder, chief executive of Sun Capital Advisors.
Leder has given $225,000 to Restore Our Future, the pro-Romney Super PAC, in addition to raising money for Romney’s presidential campaign. He has also been the subject of controversy after a report in the New York Post last year — under the headline “Nude Frolic in Tycoon’s Pool” — about a wild party at his Bridgehampton mansion in which, according to the Post’s account, “guests cavorted nude in the pool” and scantily clad Russian dancers performed on platforms.
Leder has not responded to a request for comment from NBC News.
Republicans and nude cavorting. Sea of Galilee and now this!
Young Mr. Carter is desperate to get Obama re-elected, because he figures after four more years of Obama, there will be no question who was the worst US President of all time, and Jimmy Carter will finally be off the bottom of the list!
