Politico's insider report on the troubled Romney campaign is revealing and, if you're a Romney supporter, more than a little disturbing.
Instead, eight days before the convention, at a time when a campaign usually would be done drafting and focused instead on practicing such a high-stakes speech, Stevens frantically contacted John McConnell and Matthew Scully, a speechwriting duo that had worked in George W. Bush’s campaign and White House. Stevens told them they would have to start from scratch on a new acceptance speech. Not only would they have only a few days to write it, but Romney would have little time to practice it.
For someone as rudderless as Romney, having a chief strategist as rudderless as Stevens certainly doesn't help.
And guess who's going to be fired first.
Given Romney's undisciplined and loosey-goosey management style, it's a miracle he isn't stone broke.
