...from pledges not to run. He expected Romney to stick it out through the New Hampshire primary next Tuesday, and Wisconsin's on April 2. The miscalculation was enormous. Romney was heading not merely for defeat in New Hampshire but for annihilation. His staff was making thousands of phone calls and sending out thousands of letters to assemble audiences of 200. The "home headquarters" approach that seemed so folksy at first turned into a trap for the candidate, consuming his time and energy with little return. Starting out far behind Nixon in the early polls, Romney relied heavily...

Some of these people have received literature in the mail and some have been reached by phone, but to many canvassers the large number of "NA"s means that their work is largely insignificant. And the voting lists from which the names and addresses have been drawn have often been unreliable. Voters have moved, houses have been torn down, people have changed party affiliation. It is not unusual for a volunteer to come back with 40 cards, 25 of which are marked...
