And who of his people ran the campaign? Got a link?

Mitt Romney's Man: Scott Brown
http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-01-17/mitt-romneys-man/full/

Among the many Romney disciples running Brown’s campaign are Beth Myers, the campaign manager of Romney’s presidential run; Eric Fehrnstrom, Romney’s chief spokesman; Peter Flaherty, Romney’s “go-to-guy for conservatives”; and Rob Cole, Romney’s 2008 deputy chairman manager. Beth Lindstrom, another player in Romney World, is working as Brown’s campaign manager. Lindstrom’s ties to Romney go back years; she started working with him in the Massachusetts State House as director of consumer affairs.

Mitt Romney's Man: Scott Brown

Strange wording, I hope not.

I read the link. Yes, lots of Romney people--called "disciples" in the article--worked on Brown's campaign.

Romney helped him raise money.

But the bottom line comes at the end of the article

The upside for Brown is that Romney’s team has a proven track record of success in statewide campaigns in the state. And that team has stayed remarkably cohesive through Romney’s post-gubernatorial career. That stands in marked contrast to the crackup John McCain’s aides went through following their losing 2008 campaign. And that, Romney supporters say, bodes well not only for Brown—but also for Romney’s White House chances in 2012.

“When you read the new book Game Change,” says the Republican strategist Kaufman, “the one thing that impresses you is how loyal the Obama folks were to their guy in a cycle where that was not the strong suit. The truth is the same with the Romney folks. They are dead loyal to their guy.

No two ways about it, Romney is politically savvy.

It's about his running for president in 2012, which he started doing the day he dropped out of the 2008 race.
