Gettin’ Weird

Here’s something that’s so strange and red flagish we weren’t even quite sure what to say about it or how to package it as news. This afternoon the New Hampshire AG held a press conference asking for the public’s help getting to the bottom of those anti-Mormon push poll allegations and revealing another polling firm tied to the polls. Now, the Romney campaign has responded with this statement …

“The Romney campaign had nothing to do with these alleged push polling calls. It is reckless, irresponsible and egregious for the McCain campaign to even mention the Romney campaign in relation to these calls. If they have any proof, let’s see it. If not, Senator McCain should immediately apologize for the actions of his own campaign.”

As far as I know, the McCain folks haven’t said anything about this today. So what is Romney even responding to?

Like I said, we’re not quite sure to make of this other than it’s a lot of bluster without much substance.

Late Update: Actually, it turns out that a McCain surrogate did attack Romney on this today.
