The Romney campaign has the motive.  They have the means financially, intellectually, and logistically. And there is lots of circumstantial evidence linking the Romney campaign and his supporters to the people that used the weapon. Opportunity? Well, that’s self-evident, if it happens.

It was the Romney campaign's slimey consultants who were behind the PhonyFred.org site. Oddly, it was hosted by a company in Orem Utah, bluehost.com. The owner of that business is also a Romney donor. Ron Lindorf is also a professor at BYU's Marriot School of business. The Romney campaign was seeking support from that school's alumni, and had held meetings with the Dean and with church leaders when they were exposed by the Boston Globe last year. (Both are tax exempt which made such collusions illegal.) Its all a web that will soon be unwound. Lets note some other facts too.

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? It has been done before: http://tpmelectioncentral.com/2007/11/source_fletcher_telemarketing_company_not_involved_with_bogus_robocall.php Why has no one asked this question: How do we know Western Wats made the calls?

Is it possible that a third party did no deem make the call with a Caller ID Spoof?

It has been done before:

Seems to me that Western Wats wanted this anti-Mormon phone call "scandal" to be known. The likely objective: To paint Romney as the sympathetic victim of religious intolerance, and to henceforth rule out anything other than positive mention of his Mormonism. Clever, but we'll see just how clever.
