Persona non grata is being way too nice. I would call him a political traitor.
Boston
— A Romney adviser partly blames last night’s defeat on a weak message.
“Turnout was the big problem, since we didn’t get all of McCain’s
voters to the polls, but we really should have been talking more about
Benghazi and Obamacare,” an adviser says, speaking on the condition of
anonymity. “Those are major issues and Romney rarely mentioned them in
the final days.”
The adviser expects Stuart Stevens, Romney’s chief strategist, to
bear the brunt of the blame, but not all of it. “There is a Boston
clique that will stick together,” the adviser says. “But blaming Stuart
and the other newcomers means blaming Romney, so they will be careful.
They know Romney always gave Stuart his complete confidence.”
Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey, the adviser adds, is persona
non grata in Romney’s inner circle. “He went out of his way to embrace
the president during the final week of the campaign,” the adviser says.
“It wasn’t necessary and it hurt us. Todd Akin, Richard Mourdock, and
Chris Christie undermined the Republican message.”
