http://www.alternet.org/hot-news-views/romney-koch-handshake-network-tv-missed?akid=9320.38044.NKc6Yh&rd=1&src=newsletter703229&t=1When Mitt Romney walked down the aisle toward the stage Thursday night, among the people whose hands he shook was the conservative billionaire and major political donor David Koch. But it was a moment missed by the tens of millions of viewers at home. While Democracy Now! was there on the floor and captured the handshake on video, the networks cut away just before the handshake to show footage of two enthusiastic young women supporters and then an overhead shot of the convention center. Then, the shot came back to Romney shaking hands further down the aisle as he ascended the stage. Groups in the network of David Koch, and his brother Charles, intend to spend nearly $400 million ahead of the 2012 election.

and moved into the U.S. Treasury for repartitions.
All 3 Kochs should be in prison for life, no parole, and in a solitary confinement. They are an extreme danger to the health of America. Untold charges of treason and sedition continues to pile up for the Koch brothers.
Adelson too - just throw him in SC - he'll die very quickly.

That was weird and seemed to have no context. Now we know that it was deliberate, to keep from capturing Mitt and Koch on nationwide live broadcast.
Geez.
