Mitt Romney '47 percent' Recording.
supposed illegally recorded speech given by Romney at a "private" fundraiser. But the real question here is since candidates are really just talking to these people to sway them one way or another, and then expect them to sway their friends, is anything a candidate says actually private? Under Florida law, there needs to be consent from both parties for a recording to be legal when one of the parties has a reasonable expectation of privacy. But once again, the real question is: can anything Romney does outside of his own home be considered "private"? The argument could go both ways: Romney can say that he thought it was a private event. The other case is if this could be considered a public communication at a public meeting.
