smoke and mirrors....
John Hunstman: $1million donation to the SLC Olympics followed by a $250million investment from Bain.
Others of the final tally of 53 corporate sponsors were already under Romney and Bain Capitals influence. Marriott is led by close family friends now campaign finance co-chairs; plus, Romney was sitting on the companys board at the time. Sealy, which Bain Capital owned, became a sponsor. So did Monster.com, where one of Romneys sons worked as a consultant. The vice-chair of General Motors was on Marriotts board of directors with Romney, as were the directors of Blue Cross/Blue Shield and Sears; all became sponsors. Many other sponsors had extensive business dealings with Bain Capital companies, or had top-ranking executives with past connections to Bain Capital companies. And most of them have come through for Romney again, by donating to his campaign.
