Mitt Romney has not announced whether or not he’ll make a second run for the White House, but his former aides are staying in campaign shape by managing key races across the nation that could benefit their old boss in future elections.

In at least six crucial races around the country, veterans of the former Massachusetts governor’s presidential campaign are working to guide new candidates to victory.

It may appear a simple case of political professionals moving to new clients, but Romney’s team has kept in close contact should a second presidential campaign come to fruition.

That could pay off, said Claremont McKenna political scientist John Pitney. By having staffers on the ground, Romney is building what Pitney calls “an informal intelligence network” that can feed information back to the former Bay State governor.

“With all his friends involved in campaigns around the country, it’s an excellent way for him to pick up anything that’s going on in Republican-land,” Pitney said.

Romney’s version of ACORN?

[presently no screen name]

Mr. Gov’t Healthcare reform - I think not! Americans had enough of this crapola!

[raptor29]

And we aren’t voting for any of them.

I will stay home before I will vote for Romney.

[mrsixpack36]

I am not sure what would be worse..Baucus care coming out this week or Romney Care. Romney has a good chance to get the nomination.

[Diogenesis]

Romney - quiet on AIG (got $$$$$)
Romney - quiet on ACORN (tied in with $$$$, and ????)
Romney - RomneyCARE - Death Panels installed
Romney - Operation Leper (antiGov Palin.)

The leveraged buy-out proceeds on schedule.

Remember, as it got close to the election last year, people who rejected McCain based on his policy were told that voting against the Republican was the worst thing we could do? Remember when people got nasty, and tried to guilt us into voting for McCain, promising that next time, we could afford to have principle, but that this time, Too Much Is At Stake!!!®^TM©?

They pontificated that if we'd only hold our noses and vote for a RINO (McCain) one more time, we'd never have to do it again?

They promised and pleaded that if only we'd compromise ourselves, we'd be rewarded with conservative candidates next time.

Remember those people?

Yeah, well, they're back and they're gearing up to announce that they really meant the time after next and you really really really really swear-to-goodness need to vote for Mitt Romney.

“I will stay home before I will vote for Romney.”

You and many others. And for all those milque-toast RINO apologists who somehow blame this mindset for the presence of an Obama, that’s b.s. If our party had remained a Reagan-conservative party, there would have never been the hint of a chance that a commie like Obama could get elected.

[Clintonfatigued]

I’ll support Scotty Brown, who acted out of home state loyalty, but the others should be opposed in the primary.

Fines for not buying insurance and such, not a lot of difference in the Baucus and Romney concepts...

[ejonesie22]

Given how things are going with the Healthcare fight and the turn out at the Tea Parties I am beginning to worry much less about Mitt.

His healthcare fiasco will hang like a gilded albatross around his neck if his competition plays their cards right.

[LibLieSlayer]

I am voting for Sarah Palin no matter what... and I will not vote or support any candidate that pushes willard the leftist.

LLS

[rintense]

If that’s the case, he can have the GOP because millions will stay home and not vote for this jackass.

[Yorlik803]

Amen, brother. NO MORE RINOS. Let them sit back and let the real comservatives do all the heavy lifting.
Mitt is McCain with a better dye job. A slick used car dealer that is still trying to get that 1973 Madador off the lot.
