Romney has already established committee for move into White House

The Romney campaign is measuring the drapes for Mitt’s move into the White House – taking meetings, getting offices, staffing up, and of course, “reaching out to K streeters” because nothing says small government like lobbyists.

The Romney campaign is doing what all candidates do at this stage of the game, only we recall when candidate Obama did it, he was accused of measuring the drapes. The difference, of course, is that candidate Obama appeared to have a good shot of needing those drapes.

Nonetheless, a former Bushie is on staff to lead the Romney “Readiness Project”, because while Romney is loath to give us specifics on his tax plan or immigration plan or women’s health positions, he is already playing Presidential dress up — focusing on staffing up for an administration that polls deem unlikely to occur at this stage in the race.

Either by voter intimidation, suppression, tampering with the ballots or by challenging the election to the SCOTUS.

They are just way too confident about winning this election and have no regard for how poorly they are doing in the polls or the lack of enthusiasm from supporters.

It is unreal!

Most of Stench's staff are neo-con cast-offs and "free market" losers from the booooosh regime. They've been playing government since the rushpublicans retook the House in '11...and helping direct actions on the state level.

As the article mentions most campaigns have an idea of whose going where if they win...but that assumes they have a reasonable chance of winning. A lot of this is ego stroking to either shake some money out of someone's wallet (ambassadorships) or use their political organization. Hopefully the closest these goons ever get to the White House is on a tour...
