Romney's Campaign Is Not Falling Apart
Sometimes, political rumors are just plain false.
Make fun of us if we turn about to be wrong, but the talk of an imminent shake up in ex-MA Gov. Mitt Romney's campaign seems to be unfounded.
# Amid the rumors of belt-tightening, the campaign added two staffers -- eCampaign strategist Mindy Finn and deputy manager Jason Roe. The campaign added field staffers in SC and IA.
# Romney's raising lots of money. Yes, the campaign is burning through it quickly, but no more quickly than his rivals. Given Romney's consultant/CEO background, the campaign's administration and management team uses detailed metrics to track spending and ROI -- that's Return On Investment
Who's fueling the rumors? Other campaigns, maybe.
But Romney supporters are, too -- those on the periphery who are concerned about the direction of the campaign. It's a tried and true tradition -- sympathizers try to pressure the campaign from the outside by bringing their frets to the press. [MARC AMBINDER]

Money should not be a concern for Romney, should it? I think the bigger danger is that he will instinctively feel the need to buy out and turnaround the failing campaigns of his opponents.

Romney is the slickest politician I have ever seen.

I can't imagine he'll seriously have a problem with money. He's got the contacts on his own for great fundraising and in addition, he's got a great list of endorsements. We can expect to see that number growing as his numbers continue to rise in the polls and people research candidates for themselves rather than allowing MSM to define candidates for them.

Even if "Coulter loving Mitt" raises tons of money is it going to be enough for him to erase all of his flip-flops from voter's minds? Mitt changes his positions just like a chameleon changes its colors.

I think the Romney camp is smart to advertise this early. Voters need to see Romney- and he will win this thing. An exceptionally bright, articulate, strong leader. America has been waiting a long time.

"Cant buy me love" will be Romney's campaign song soon
