In a sign that Mitt Romney's campaign team plans to adjust following growing criticism from fellow Republicans, CBS News has learned that Romney campaign senior adviser Kevin Madden will soon be taking on a larger and more visible role within the campaign.
Sources tell CBS News that Madden will be spending more time on the road with Romney and is likely to become a more public presence as a TV spokesperson for the candidate. He will hit the road with Romney next week, following Romney's New Hampshire vacation.
This move to make Madden a more public face of the campaign comes a week after fellow senior adviser Eric Fehrnstrom committed a messaging misstep, which resulted in Romney having to walk back those comments.

Think about your statement. Think about what Obama has done since elected. Think about 4 more years of Obama.
We are where are with Romney; he is no one’s pick here. A viable conservative was not a choice we had to pick from this time.
But we have an election coming with 2 choices.
You have to be totally out of touch with reality to let Obama get one more vote than he should.
My analogy is of a airliner. Our country is the airliner. In 2008 it was flying through a really nasty storm; one of the engines knocked out and some other systems were damaged. But it was flying straight and level and was making it's way to smoother air.
All of a sudden in November 2008 a bunch of terrorists knocked down the cockpit door. They eliminated the cockpit crew and took over the controls. They now have the airliner in a steep dive; time is running out.
There are passengers who have figured out what is happening and they want control of the airliner back. They aren't Navy SEALS or some other elite well qualified group. But they are determined and they are all that is there.
Should they not try get control back just because they aren't perfect?

You must source your clians that Palin is being excluded from convention. Just not credible.
No, they didn't. And no, not by a long shot.
You go right on ahead and get behind him. I won't, and therefore will avoid his putrid green road pies that he drops along the way.
whoops! Should have said your “claims”
I recall Madden now... Thanks for reminding me. I wanted to kick his ass then. Although he certainly seems less sleazy than Fernstrom.
Bottomline: We nominated a turd. The two biggest weapons to plunge Obama with - Obamatax and the jobs report - and Mittens is jet skiing and unavailable for much comment.
You are welcome to bask in the sewer that Obama will provide you, I don’t believe I’ll join you.
Here's a hint...I ain't voting for Romney for reasons stated here and in other posts, no matter what.
Period.
And you are welcome to bask in Romney's sewer that he has already provided you.
“but our own FReepers who bash Romney will certainly be able to claim credit for 4 more years of The One.”
Freeper dissent about a weak candidate is not going to affect the results of an election.
Free Republic is supposed to be a forum where we all have the freedom!!! to express opinions..and that includes criticism of Romney.
If anyone in the Romney camp is paying attention, they can use them to face reality and make positive changes before it’s too late.
Some here have suggested that Mittens and Co. are just laying low to let Bam self destruct..and then they will come out swinging.
I sure hope that’s correct..but am not optimistic. This is the GOP after all.
Go buy a clue, yourself.
You bow dpwm veru ;pw
to Mr. RomneyCARE and his Legion of
Backstabbers and DeathPanels, yourself. Why?
And here is your problem.
Mr. RomneyCARE does not have enough delegates.
And THOSE he has, he cheated and lied and changed
the rules to get them.
Sorry, he gets not enough votes
(which was the DNC plan, all along).
Mr. Romney, PULL OUT NOW and be a MAN.
People like me live in reality - Romney may suck in oh-so many ways, but he's not nearly as toxic as Obama. If you want to be a martyr, have fun and go out with a bang by getting Obama re-elected. It would be nice if you could restrict your martyrdom to yourselves instead of going "suicide bomber" and taking the rest of us out with you though.
RINO begone!
Keepin' it classy!
Why didn't you finish the spell - Obama welcome!
It’s not just attacks on Palin. The Mittwits attacked Fred Thompson in 2008 and Newt Gingrich in 2012 in the same sleazy manner. The told a lot a lies about good people. How much more “unchristian” does it get?
