Top Huck Aide Leaves Romney's Religion on Table
By Mark Finkelstein | December 20, 2007 - 22:49 ET
Ed Rollins is Mike Huckabee's National Campaign Chairman. Appearing on
this evening's Hardball, the renowned political consultant declined to
say that Romney's religion wasn't relevant to the campaign. For good
measure, Rollins suggested that a senior Romney aide is . . . an
atheist.
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Does faith bring you guys together or separate you?
ED ROLLINS: Well, first of all, you and I are Catholics and Ron
[Kaufman, senior Romney aide], are you still an atheist or have you
basically converted, now that you're rich?

'Entry fee' for White House race could top $100 million
"It's the organizational prowess and ability to put together a
national organization to raise money that is the real test, and it's
that ability that translates into dough," said an adviser to a
potential 2008 Republican candidate.
The standards of the "money primary" vary depending on a candidate's
strategy. For a front-runner, $100 million by Dec. 31, 2007, may be
the goal, but candidates trying merely to become the main challenger
face a lower hurdle.
Ron Kaufman (Cape Cod National Seashore Advisory Committee chair and
former brother-in-law of White House chief of staff Andy Card) who is
helping Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) explore a bid, said the
competition to become the challenger would require much less because
$40 million to $50 million is more than enough to compete in the early
caucuses and primaries. A victory early on would spark a financial
outpouring to sustain the remainder of the campaign.
Kaufman's view was shared by supporters of Sen. Clinton, who is
expected to have little trouble raising $100 million by the end of
2007 if she runs. The Clinton backers said a legitimate challenger to
her would need to raise between $35 million and $40 million to finance
strong campaigns in Iowa, New Hampshire and other early states.
...Meanwhile, back at the Romney ranch
Trent Wisecup, who has been charged with spreading Gov. Mitt Romney's
political influence around the country as head of his so-called
leadership committee, has resigned from the job amid the emergence of
other political advisers.
Wisecup was the understudy of Michael Murphy, the political strategist
with whom Romney parted ways in December. Murphy had also been
providing political advice to Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., for whom he
worked during the 2000 presidential campaign, and he had been
unwilling to make a choice between Romney and McCain as they both
consider runs for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination.
In addition, Ron Kaufman, the former political director in the first
Bush administration and a longtime Massachusetts politico, has taken a
more visible role shaping Romney's political activities, as has been
longtime Romney friend Bob White, gubernatorial chief of staff Beth
Myers and Fehrnstrom, the governor's chief spokesman...
Kaufman was spotted last week in the Statehouse. When approached by a
reporter and asked the reason for his visit, he smiled and replied,
"I'm the Republican National Committeeman from Massachusetts. It's
only natural that I'd talk to the governor."
