Romney public event: Liberal bloggers not allowed

I wanted to share an interesting side story from the Romney’s campaign event on Saturday. I arrived early with flip cam attached to my monopod in hand at the Iowa Statehouse grounds. I was talking to a friend when approached by a couple of young Romney staffers. They asked who I was with, and I replied I was with Caffeinated Thoughts. They were not familiar with me (evidently they are *incredibly in touch* with Iowa politics) so they asked me if it was a conservative site. I said “yes” and handed them my card with the URL so they could check me out.

I was told that if I was a liberal blog I would be asked to leave. I asked how would that work since the rally was being held on public land. One of the staffers told me, “right now, we own the land.”
