Campaign 2012 Tidbits (24 of 26): Eastwood effects.



From Mark Halperin and John Heilemann’s Double Down – Game Change 2012 (New York: Penguin Press, 2013), p. 374:

Romney and [staffer Stuart] Stevens were watching Eastwood together backstage.  The candidate seemed to think it was funny – at least at first.  “Did you guys practice this?” he asked Stevens.

“No,” Stevens said.  “I have no idea what he’s doing.”

Stevens’s head was exploding at the sight of the disaster occurring onstage...  Not wanting to upset Mitt, Stevens excused himself , went into another room, and vomited.
