When I was an OFA staffer in '08 the campaign gave us new laptops, we kept our cell phones/Blackberry, and they paid us for the remainder of the month even though the election had ended.

My point isn't to compare how generous OFA was, but how loyalty and showing people you care matters when you want to enlist them four years later. Those people Romney burned will never work for his ass again. It was a dick move to shut down the cards with no advance notice, especially since those staffers were probably working for low wages to begin with.

But whatevs..the election is over. Couldn't care less about Romney.
