Further down in the article is the quote,

“The key date for us is in November,” he said. “What we’re doing is educating the community to the positions that this candidate, Mitt Romney, was taking as he sought our votes. Mitt Romney’s going to find this little anchor placed around his neck getting heavier and heavier.”
