“He actually is the tea party movement,” Kaufman said. “He truly is the outside candidate not the inside candidate.”

Who is Kaufman?
While these former gubernatorial aides have not played a major role in a general election presidential campaign, Romney has several other key advisers who have such experience, including longtime friend Ron Kaufman and political strategists Stuart Stevens and Russ Schriefer, all of whom worked with Romney on his failed 2008 White House bid.

And he says Romney "
is the Tea Party". The same Tea Party movement:
Which two thirds of Americans don't support, and which a majority have an unfavorable opinion of (link).
And which In their Contract From America, has called for:
* Stopping attempts to control carbon emisions through the free market cap and trade system
* A single tax rate, so millionaires like Romney pay no greater share than anyone else
* Repealing the historic health care reform which was just passed in 2010
That Tea Party. That's who Mitt Romney really is. According to one of his top advisors and closest friends.
