We Don't Change Our Underwear This Much

As The Colorado Statesman reports, Democrat Andrew Romanoff has hired a new spokesperson for his campaign.

Democratic Senate candidate Andrew Romanoff on Monday hired a new campaign spokesman, Indiana-based political consultant Roy Teicher. Teicher replaces Dean Toda, who joined the campaign at the end of January.

Teicher, a principle in the consulting firm Rorapaugh-Teicher LLC, has been a spokesman for Senante candidates and has a background in small Midwestern newspapers. His firm specializes in first-time candidates, according to its Web site. The site says Teicher’s firm can help candidates answer the questions “Why are you running?” and “How do you plan to win?”[Pols emphasis]…

…Teicher is the fourth spokesman Romanoff has had in seven months since entering the race last September.[Pols emphasis] Initial spokeswoman Joelle Martinez was replaced after les than two months by former Colorado Springs Gazette and Colorado Statesman reporter John Schroyer, who was replaced roughly two months later by Toda.

Teicher said the change was “simply a matter of Dean pursuing other opportunities and appears to have been an amicable parting of the ways, and we wish him well.”

Toda could not be reached for comment.

There’s no way to spin this, Romanoff folks, as anything other than bad news. Either Toda left because he didn’t like the direction/management of the campaign, or Romanoff just isn’t very good at hiring people for top staff positions (but at least he’s consistent — replacements seem to be made every two months). Or…or…maybe this is part of Romanoff’s “job growth” plan; if elected, he’ll hire lots of people for just a few months at a time.

Either way, this looks bad.
