Yep, Mitt's a sissy

New York Times reporter Jim Rutenberg described his recent treatment by Romney campaigners.

Fox News allowed Rutenberg to sit backstage as Romney and several other candidates waited to participate in a forum recerntly hosted by Mike Huckabee on his Saturday Fox show.

Mr. Romney’s aides became agitated when they saw Rutenberg , and asked where he worked and what he was doing there,

The aides insisted that the reporter not physically approach Mr. Romney before or after he was questioned on television by Mr. Huckabee.

Politico's Dylan Byers thinks Romney's disdain for interviews and near-total inaccessibility with the press has damaged his campaign.

The Intrade prediction market survey suggests Byers is correct. Mitt's numbers dropped this week and Newt's are rising. 

Although Mitt was given about a 60 percent chance of winning for several weeks, , he is now has a 46 per cent probability of getting the GOP nomination

Newt came form nowhere and now has nearly a 1:3 chance of getting the nomination.
