Stuart Stevens, a former top adviser to Mitt Romney, commended President Barack Obama’s re-election team on Thursday, but argued that the Republican nominee ran a more nationally focused campaign.
“There were two very different campaigns that were run. When you listen to the Obama campaign and let me be the first to say they ran a great campaign. It was a campaign they could have lost and they won and that’s the definition of a great campaign in my book,” Stevens said during an appearance on “CBS This Morning.”
“They ran very state specific issues, less of a national campaign. That was not why Governor Romney was running. He wanted to talk about big national issues — debt, entitlements, the future of the country. He wanted to put big questions before the country. And he did that. And I think the comparison of those two was striking. It was striking in the debates.”
