In Romneyland, the super PAC is being met with real suspicion and skepticism.
“It will be very interesting to see how any of these dollars are actually spent,” said Stuart Stevens, formerly Romney’s chief strategist and now a Daily Beast contributor. ”This certainly has no connection to anyone I’m aware of with Romney for President.”
Tim Lussier, who worked as Western digital director for Romney’s 2012 campaign, said he found it “strange this ‘Ready for Romney’ organization has no ties to anyone in the conservative community, and for that reason I urge the public to avoid giving donations or getting involved… This very anonymous super PAC claiming to support Romney should be avoided.”
Goff said he had consulted with a former Romney staffer by the name of Jared Townsend. Romney aides say they do not recognize that name.
It is not unheard of for consultants to get rich off super PACs that fundraise on behalf of candidates and then do little to support their campaigns—something former Romney aides fear is happening with Ready for Romney.
