The Romney campaign, after weeks of mis-steps, had decided it need to restructure. After carefully weighing the options, Mitt Romney himself suggested the solution. Bain Capital was brough in to help restructure and redirect the campaign.
As a first order of business, Bain has closed all of the campaign offices. In the 'new' economy, nearly all communications can be made via traditional mediums. This will save our campaign as much as $150 million which can be used much more efficiently. To better make use of these traditional mediums, we will be utilizing off-shore mailing and call centers. This unto itself will save us $50m, and has the additional advantage of certain tax subsidies. It will also free up our more talented campain officials, who will be utilize in other areas.
We have also chosen to cancel all campain events. All future events will be webcast. This will allow us to have larger audiences while saving another $42 million dollars. It will also limit any unscripted moments which could harm the campaign.
All low level staff will be let go. We appreciate your service, but at this time we need to focus on what has been working. We welcome you all to contribute to the campaign, as raising money has been working for us.
The Bain model will be executed throughout the campaign orginization, and the changes will be obvious and effective. Bain has done this many times before and this is what we are good at.
When asked by journalists how this is going to help Mitt Romney win the election, a Bain representative said "Mitt is losing either way, we intend to make this the most profitable campaign in the history of the country."
