From Romney’s campaign:
The first thing I notice is there are no condolenses, hearts and prayers or thoughts for the pilot and his family from the Romney campaign. I notice this, not because what they said was wrong, but because it’s Romney.
He has been trying, since before the RNC, to show that he’s a warm, caring person and not just a cold, calculating capitalist. This cold, sterile response doesn’t do anything to help his cause.
Speaking for myself and my many friends and neighbors here in Pueblo, who had planned on attending one or the other (or both!) events, we are stunned and so very sorry, for the pilot and for his/her family and friends. Our hearts and prayers go out not only to those directly affected, but to the responders – fire, safety, airport, and police – who must now turn this beautiful day toward such a sad task. I know that those of us who are Democrats (including myself) AND Republicans are so saddened, solemn and united in our sorrow and condolences for this loss.
a terrible tragedy. Has the pilots’ name been released?
