The only evidence thus far is that the caller identified themselves as representing West Wats. Is it possible that a third party did no deem make the call with a Caller ID Spoof?

Come on, people, think! The talk is on the same level as the CFR, Bildebergers, UN world domination conspiracy idiots. If Romney did it, why in hell would he use a company with such obvious links? The man and his machine are NOT first timers. To attribute such idiocy to them is beyond comprehension. Whoever is behind it, I hope the bright light of discovery soon burns white-hot in their dark political sewer.
