http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/03/exclusive-in-02-romney-touted-d-c-connections-federal-funds/Watch the embedded video in the article. After arguing in the debate that the federal government historically funds "transportation" and "security" for the Olympics, Romney brags that he lobbied, and received from, the department of education money for free tickets!
He brags about aggressively pursuing earmarks from Washington and having connections in Washington. Hypocritically, he claims it is Senators and Congressmen pursuing earmarks for their own states, not governors, whom are real problem. Romney's position boils down to, "Vote for me, I lost!" [in his Senate race to Kennedy.]
He does have a talent for losing!
