Obama Staffer ♥s Romney. This Weird Election Season.

Here's an odd one for this already weird election season:
One of Illinois Senator Barack Obama’s most visible South Carolina staffers helped create the Palmetto State’s most aggressive pro-Mitt Romney website, according to e-mails obtained by FITSNews.Laurin Manning, who was by far and away the most influential blogger in South Carolina prior to taking her current position with the Obama campaign, reveals in one of the e-mails that she helped design the pro-Romney website A Daily Shot, trained its staff on website upgrades and technical administration, and is the current domain name owner and designer of another pro-Romney website, “Under The Power Lines.”
She also ran another SC-GOP dedicated blog.
It seems Romney and Obama are just bringing all sorts of people together.

Well, we have an Obama staffer who apparently loves Romney. Isn't like like having a Clinton staffer who loves Bush.
It's just odd.
My obnoxious reaction of hyperventilating whenever I see something that could possibly be construed as short of endorsing Mitt Romney kicked in once again. I really need to calm down here.

What is your beef with Romney? Earlier this week you proudly posted a new poll from Mason Dixon showing your guy Thompson leading nationally and claimed it proved Mitt was in trouble. A day or so later the same polling firm released a poll in Iowa showing Romney still leading in the state and McCain falling behind Huckabee, yet no mention of that.
Romney's campaign obviously has a strategy of winning the early states to gain national momentum. It is a solid strategy that has worked many times in the past, and he is currently leading in both IA and NH. Not to mention the fact he is doing the best raising money so far.
What gives?
That sounds like an odd story, but I'm not sure what you mean by "It seems Romney and Obama are just bringing all sorts of people together."
