Romney touts bipartisanship in new ad, spurns Democratic governors in storm path

Newly Moderate Mitt is all about being "bipartisan." See, this new ad says so.

"We have to work on a collaborative basis," he says. "And Republicans and Democrats both love America. But we need to have leadership in Washington that will actually bring people together." The ad's even called "Bringing People Together."

So, one would expect Newly Moderate Mitt to be reaching out to all the Americans who are going to be hurting in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, right? One would be oh so wrong.

FERNANDINA BEACH, Fla. ' Republican nominee Mitt Romney reached out to GOP allies on Monday in advance of Hurricane Sandy, but he has not spoken Democratic governors in the path of the storm.

"Gov. Romney has also been in touch with Governors Bob McDonnell and Chris Christie about storm preparations, and we will continuously monitor the situation," press secretary Andrea Saul told reporters in an email Monday morning. [...]

Key Democratic leaders said they had no word from the Republican campaign.

An aide Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley said he was "not aware of any call" from Romney. A spokesman for Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy and said Romney "has not reached out" to Malloy.

That's Mitt's version of bipartisanship'talking to a swing state Republican governor and a blue state Republican governor. He'll bring Republicans from all sorts of states together.
