Romney and his team's reputation as a group of political street fighters is entirely undeserved. Romney won the primary for one reason: dollars. He was simply able to drown out all of his rivals with a stream of negative advertising in pivotal states. If Romney had the same amount of funding as Gingrich and Santorum, its questionable if he would have been able to pull it off.
The fact that he had to spend millions to clear out the weakest field of candidates in the past generation to get the nomination is a testament to his weakness as a candidate.
And now, as it turns out, we're seeing Romney die on his sword, because he can only marginally outspend the Obama campaign and finds himself getting drowned by negative ads in pivotal states.
