Axelrod: Romney's "Great Negative Campaign" Didn't Add To His "Luster"
"Every single dollar he spent was on negative ads. I think he had one positive radio ad in the Hispanic community, and 99% of his ads were negative. Almost all of his rhetoric was negative. And he executed very well. His aides all boasted about that in the newspaper about what a great negative campaign they ran against Gingrich down there in Florida. And he ground out a victory for himself. So it was a tactical victory. I'm not sure it added to his luster as a potential leader of the country," said David Axelrod, senior campaign adviser to Obama's reelection effort.
"It's hardly elevated him in the eye of the American people," Axelrod also said.
Axelrod called the Republican primary a "debacle."
