An unnamed Mitt Romney adviser tells Jon Ward:
"We went through Hurricane Palin and Hurricane Huckabee and Hurricane Trump," the Romney adviser said, referring to the bright light celebrity names that stoked interest earlier this year: former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, and businessman Donald Trump.
Referring to Perry, the adviser said: "This is just one more hurricane, but I think we're at the end of hurricane season."
The rest of Ward's piece belies that breezy indifference, with yet more talk of how Romney is planning to stop Perry -- "death by a thousand cuts", a Romney adviser notes.
