It's taken him this long to figure this one out?! From the Associated Press (hat tip: Politik Ditto): "Mitt Romney says he's going to spend less time raising money and more time with voters. The Republican presidential nominee says President Barack Obama's
decision in 2008 to bypass traditional spending limits has forced him to
spend more time courting donors than he'd like. The election is less than seven weeks away and some Republicans are worried Romney's campaign is moving in the wrong direction."
More: "While national polls remain tight, polls in several of the most
closely watched states, including Colorado, suggest that Obama has
opened narrow leads. Obama won Colorado by 9 points four years ago, but
the state went to a Republican in the previous three presidential
elections. Amid mounting pressure to spend less time raising money and more time
explaining his plans to voters, Romney was refocusing his schedule
visit more frequently the most competitive states. Romney adviser Kevin
Madden defended the fundraising focus as a necessity, but said that
intensity would be matched by an aggressive schedule of public events
starting Sunday. From Denver, Romney was to begin a three-day bus tour in Ohio on
Monday followed by a stop in Virginia — states that Obama won in 2008
but that Republicans claimed four years earlier."
