Apparently, Romney aides wish their boss offered spent more time offering
inspiring vision like he did during his speech at Ford Field (Photo: @jamienbcnews)
Mitt Romney's aides are voicing frustration with their candidate ... and they're doing it
in the pages of
The New York Times:
Mr. Romney, aides say, has become too mired in the nuts and bolts of how to win the nomination rather than offering an inspiring argument for why he should.
It doesn't seem wise for Romney's aides to go around telling reporters that he can't see the forest through the trees, but apparently that's what they're doing. You might remember that last week one of them
called Romney's approach to management "weird," so it's not a total shock to read this kind of stuff:
One adviser, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Mr. Romney had too often resorted to micromanaging, especially on speeches and opinion pieces for newspaper editorial pages.
But hey, at least they have an excuse:
Several campaign aides acknowledged that fatigue had settled in for both the candidate and his staff here in Boston.
They're already too tired to do a good job? It's only March, for Pete's sake! They haven't even had their 3 AM phone call yet.
