I’m pretty sure Romney is looking at a third place finish in Iowa and panicked.
This WILL be traced back to the Romney camp, but before the caucuses? Probably not. Politcs can be brutal and dishonest, especially when practiced by someone both desparate and ruthless. Cue Ed Rollins.
I saw this (Fred withdraws if loses IA) late yesterday posted here as someone “hearing” it on cBS radio. The thread got pulled immediately, as it should. cBS as a source is just stupid.
