Romney Campaign spends same as Obama Campaign for HALF the staff.

17. My point is, the amount Mittens has to pay his staffers is a symptom of a larger problem.

The larger problem (for him) is that he's not a good candidate. His base doesn't trust him because he hasn't been a "true conservative" long enough and his religion doesn't help. The undecideds don't trust him because his record as Gov isn't even being mentioned and his "business" record seems to consist of his company being very successful at the expense of others. He's not trying to sell a specific vision of what he wants for America, in fact, he's doing everything he can to avoid specifics. He's trying to sell himself and his own personal integrity, as in "Trust me, I have a good plan for America, I just can't give you the specifics right now". The problem with this is that he doesn't have a lot in his personal background to make him seem very trustworthy. I'm sure he's willing to do what's right for Mitt Romney, I just have no faith that he's willing to, or even understands how to, do what's right for America.

Because of all this, the repukes who worked for * aren't excited about him. The churches that worked on the GOTV in previous elections aren't motivated, even the hacks don't want to jump on a doomed ship without a good financial incentive to do so.
