No Staff Shake Up Likely for Romney
New York Times: “Talk of infighting within the Romney headquarters in Boston has been percolating for months, but the report in Politico drew new attention to it and raised questions about Mr. Romney’s management of the campaign, which includes advisers who have been with him since his first run for Massachusetts governor, since he entered presidential politics, and others like Stuart Stevens and his partner Russ Schriefer, who have become still more prominent this campaign season. Republicans close to the operation say it is not Mr. Romney’s style to dismiss any of his advisers.”
First Read notes the story is infighting “isn’t surprising in a presidential campaign. After all, when the going gets tough, campaign advisers and consultants start pointing fingers. But what is surprising is that such an article is coming so soon, before the debates and before this race is truly decided.”
‘I like being able to fire people who don’t provide adequate services…except when they are my pals and I have to do it in person’ - Mitt Romney
