The Concord Monitor reports that Romney on Monday "played down expectations and ramped up his biggest-in-the-Republican-field campaign machine." While "Romney had long said his candidacy hinged on wins in early states, he's retooled that strategy since his second-place finish in Iowa's leadoff caucus. ... Yesterday, he noted his finish in Wyoming's Republican caucus and argued that second place in New Hampshire would be good enough. 'If I come in a second-place finish, that will actually say that I am clearly one of the leading contenders,' Romney said. 'I will have come in second in Iowa, first in Wyoming, second in New Hampshire. That will mean that I probably have more votes than anybody else in those first three states.'"
