MITT ROMNEY'S LOSING RECORD HIGHLIGHTED IN PRESIDENTIAL RUN
Under Romney's RGA leadership, Democrats went on to win a majority of governorships in the November elections by knocking off an additional six Republican governors and not losing a single incumbent Democratic governor. "It seems Mitt Romney's ambitions can't keep up with his responsibilities," said Democratic National Committee spokesman Luis Miranda. "After failing at the RGA, if Romney thinks the road to the White House begins by hiring the same failed leadership that cost Republicans the House and Senate, then he clearly has not learned the lessons of this year's elections."

Even as he is being lambasted by his fellow Republicans going into a three day Republican Governors' Association meeting in Miami, Florida, RGA Chairman Mitt Romney is not hiding from his presidential ambitions. Today the Washington, DC based political journal Roll Call reported that Romney has hired a press aide to House Majority Leader John Boehner and former aide to disgraced former Republican Leader Tom DeLay to be a spokesperson for his presidential exploratory committee. The news came as another political publication, The Hill, reported that Romney's poor decision-making in the final stretch was a "bitter pill" for Republican operatives in red states whose "candidates received little financial help from the governors' association and went on to lose by stunning margins." The Republican operatives "said the association could have done more with its record-breaking war chest early on, when they were more competitive." Adding insult to injury, as the Boston Globe reported recently, Romney directed the "largest contributions" as RGA Chairman to "three states that are key to any presidential run."
