And the beat goes on... AP: Romney uses secretive data mining

So, the AP is out with breaking story that R-Mizzle is using

a secretive data-mining project that sifts through Americans' personal information – including their purchasing history and church attendance – to identify new and likely, wealthy donors and who did this little firm used to business with?  I'll give you three guesses.  The first letter is B and the second is AIN. Buxton confirmed that the data-mining project began with the help of Dick Boyce, Romney's former Bain & Co. colleague, after Romney joined fundraising forces with the Republican National Committee. Buxton expressed such confidence in his business and analysis methods that, in nearly two decades of running his firm, he told AP he has always been able to answer essential questions for customers.

"I can look at data of any kind and say, `I want to know who that $100 donor could be,'" Buxton said. "We look at data of any kind."

It also says that the Obama campaign uses data mined from FB and Twitter but refused to comment on its practice.  Also says no money changed hands....

coupled with a new usa/gallup poll showing (again) what we already know: obama is more likeable than R-MONEY by more than 20%, its heaping, helping of Schadenfreude for breakfast.
