"Just grab something."

This pretty much sums up the conservative ethos, doesn't it?
But even as Romney, clad in blue jeans and rolled-up sleeves, hustled around his area of the gym, shaking hands, thanking supporters, and stacking cases of bottled water on top of each other, signs of stagecraft remained. 
As supporters lined up to greet the candidate, a young volunteer in a Romney/Ryan T-shirt stood near the tables, his hands cupped around his mouth, shouting, "You need a donation to get in line!" 
Empty-handed supporters pled for entrance, with one woman asking, "What if we dropped off our donations up front? 
The volunteer gestured toward a pile of groceries conveniently stacked near the candidate. "Just grab something," he said.
