I received an email from the Romney campaign, letting me know the Romney campaign had no direct affiliation with the site.  I'm told an individual parked the site temporarily on the same server that one of their campaign consultants uses. 

This rings true to me.  For one thing, the anti-Thompson site wasn't really all that good. 

But I stand by my point that the Romney team is very tough, and I don't mean that as an insult.  If you look at some of the operatives and advisers on the campaign, they will be throwing some elbows.
