Mitt Romney Watch: Early State Strategy in Peril

Mitt Romney’s flip-flops on abortion over many years, but even recently. American Right to Life Action exposes him! ARTLAction.com is a new 527 group, which is airing this video as a commercial in Iowa on FOXNews.

Mitt Romney’s early state strategy to gather momentum and sweep to the GOP nomination is in trouble – partly due to flip-flops on abortion as the ad above so clearly demonstrates.

If Huckabee wins the Iowa caucuses Jan. 3, Romney’s campaign will have four days to recover before making a stand in New Hampshire, where he is leading in recent opinion polls. Romney aides claim a potential upside for their candidate: Huckabee’s meteoric rise has reset expectations for Romney, who will be credited with a meaningful win in Iowa should he pull it off.

Romney is losing in Iowa where he has spent over $7 million to Mike Huckabee and is hanging onto a lead within the margin of error to John McCain in New Hampshire. He has never lead in a national GOP poll even though he has dumped massive $ millions of his own wealth into television advertising.

Desperation in his campaign exudes with Romney hagiographer, Hugh Hewitt, former Giuliani e-employee Patrick Ruffini and the Manhattan based conservatives at National Review bashing Huckabee and Giuliani at every turn of the campaign.

The Romney shill Matt Drudge HOSED Rudy over a bogus story over at the other Romney shill Politico. Flap is amazed that the public does not demand financial disclosure forms from the media – Flap wonders how much money or promises have ACTUALLY changed hands with political consulting deals, books, third party payments to foundations, etc.

Throw in freshly converted Mormon Bay Buchanan (formerly Tom Tancredo’s campaign manager) and her brother Pat into the mix and you have nobody but Mitt pieces floating through the internets.

But, have they been able to fool the voters?

Nope…..

Huckabee spent the week basking in newfound popularity in Iowa. A month ago, he was having events in pizza parlors with 40 people and almost no press. Last week, 200 people packed into a raucous event in West Des Moines, with 50 more waiting outside.

Huckabee has described Romney as “desperate,” and his descriptions of Huckabee’s record as “dishonest,” “misleading” and “unfair.” For the moment, Romney’s advisers insist, they feel apprehension but not panic. “Would we like it to be different? Of course,” said one adviser who has been with Romney for years. “You have to trust the team. You have to trust the strategy. You have to trust what your original instinct was. I think that’s where the governor is.”

Whether it be Mike Huckabee in Iowa, John McCain in New Hampshire or Rudy in later states, Mitt Romney is in trouble and his strategy is failing. Look at where Mitt is campaigning after Christmas – New Hampshire. Romney has already written off Iowa apparently.

After Christmas somebody will go negative on Mitt. No one yet has done so in paid television media.

It might be a 527 like the video above supporting Huckabee. It might be McCain in New Hamsphire via a 527 or help from Rudy. It might be Rudy in Michigan via Florida.

After Christmas it will be a whole new ball game.

What has become a Romney strategy that is teetering on the brink will be dealt the coup de grace – and rightly so.

Stay tuned…..
