It has not been a good couple of days for the Romney campaign. The former senator from Tennessee, Fred Thompson, who isn't even running, overtakes Mr. Romney in Iowa, where there's a robust Romney campaign apparatus. Mr. Thompson ties Mr. Romney in Ohio. A big financial backer in Florida defects from the Romney to the Giuliani camp.

Now, a rival-campaign operative forwards on some other recent bad news for Mitt that you may have missed.

First, we've got one state rep. in Michigan switching from Romney to McCain, and another state rep. in Michigan, a member of Mr. Romney's leadership team in the state, defecting to Mr. Giuliani.

Also, a Tennessee congressman, John J. Duncan Jr. (R-Knoxville), who endorsed Mr. Romney less than two months ago, now says he'd rather support Mr. Thompson if he enters the fray.

Meanwhile, NewHampshireforRomney.com is desperately seeking bloggers — after the three they had lost interest — and hasn't been updated, apparently, since January 30, 2007.
